Do you, and/or your team, work in an international company with global and/or regional presence, and do you wish to gain basic knowledge in the labour laws of multiple countries?

Are you conscious of the pitfalls that may be vital to employee relations in a specific country?

What are the questions to ask your advisors, inside or outside your company – and how do you appreciate and trust the information available to you?

This workshop is for you!

This workshop is based on our extensive experiences providing employment law country reports and conducting HR audits, tailormade to meet the needs of our international clients.
