Legal masterclass: where is the future workplace?

Welcome to the future of work!

With better technology, higher costs and changing expectations, remote working is here to stay. Flexibility is the key word as companies compete to catch and keep the best talent. With new laws in the UK, employees can request flexible working arrangements from day one. This isn’t a minor change – it’s a revolutionary shift in the relationship between you and your team, and it doesn’t stop with working from home – are you ready for the future of work, where the office could be anywhere?

Why should you care?

Flexibility isn’t just about working from home; it’s about tapping into a potentially global talent pool and building teams and cultures that drive your business’ performance and growth. Who wouldn’t want that?

However, freedom comes with responsibilities and businesses are faced with significant challenges. Can you make your team come into the office when you need them? How do you manage staff who work remotely – or even from a different country? What are the risks when you hire employees and freelancers from across the globe?

What’s in it for you?
