Natasha Smith, a senior associate at CooperBurnett LLP, provides an update on changes in employment law
The beginning of any new year is the perfect time for employers to reflect on any workforce issues that may have arisen over the previous year, to review where their organisation currently stands, and to assess where they would like it to be in the coming year.
