About this event

AI is changing the way we work, while new employment laws and rising expectations around workplace culture are reshaping the role of HR. This expert panel brings together specialists in employment law, AI, wellbeing and business transformation to explore what these changes mean in practice.

The discussion will cover how organisations can use AI to improve recruitment, learning, workforce planning and employee experience, while ensuring it is used responsibly and fairly. We'll also explore employee wellbeing, including burnout, digital overload and the pressures of modern working, and where technology can support people rather than hinder them.

Our panel will also unpack the latest UK employment law developments, including proposed government reforms, changing expectations around flexible working and employee rights, and the legal considerations surrounding AI-assisted decision-making in recruitment, performance management, employee monitoring and disciplinary processes.

Whether you're an HR professional, business leader or people manager, you'll leave with practical insights and fresh ideas to help your organisation embrace innovation while putting people first.
