The Middle East conflict: Where are we now? Employment law risks and employer decision making

This session will provide a clear “where are we now?” update on the employment law issues employers are currently navigating as a result of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

It builds on the issues explored during our March briefing and reflects the questions and challenges we are now seeing most frequently from employers across the region. We will also outline the legal provisions which clients should be aware of when undertaking people investigations within the region and provide real-life examples and case studies to demonstrate how investigations are managed in practice.

Each session offers practical guidance for employers and will conclude with a live Q&A. Participants are also welcome to submit questions in advance via email.

The discussion will focus on the employment law considerations shaping employer decision making in the current environment, including workforce safety and mobility, legal obligations relating to employee wellbeing, managing absence and performance, the appropriate use of flexible working arrangements, and responding to sensitive conduct and communications issues. The session will conclude with a live Q&A. Find out more about the two other sessions by exploring the ‘related events’ tab.
