Do your company need help with your policies?

The landscape of employment law legislation, and other legislation that impacts on employees and employees, such as the Protected Disclosures Act 2014, and the Protected Disclosures Amendment Act 2022, which comes into force on 1st Jan 2023 for some employers and for other employers on 17th Dec 2023, as well as Codes of Practice from the WRC and the IHRC, guidance from the DPC, all create a complex environment for employers, who must create and update their policies in these areas on an ongoing basis.

Added to that complexity, is the changing nature of the workplace, and events in the social media and internet space.
