Overview

Reduce Legal Risk and Support Inclusion: What Every HR Professional Should Know

Failure to make reasonable adjustments is one of the most common forms of disability discrimination — and one of the most preventable. Getting it right improves retention, productivity, and inclusion, while reducing legal and reputational risk.

For HR professionals, understanding when and how to act is key. The right adjustments, made at the right time, can remove barriers and open access to a broader pool of talent. This event, in association with Lewis Silkin (NI) LPP, will provide clear, practical guidance to help you meet your legal duties with confidence and create a workplace where disabled employees can thrive.

Who is this event for?

Managers, Supervisors, Team Leaders, HR Professionals, Business Owners, Trade Union Representatives and Employee Representatives.

Why you should attend this event

This event is a must for HR professionals who want to build a more inclusive, high-performing workplace while staying on the right side of the law. You'll gain practical, up-to-date guidance on meeting your legal duties around reasonable adjustments - one of the most common pitfalls in disability discrimination claims - plus insights that can help you attract and retain skilled talent, boost morale, and reduce costly staff turnover.
