Team SCE were out and about this week doing what we do best, which is of course provide discussion and advice relating to the dynamic world of employment law and HR.
Owing to our renowned expertise on the subject we were invited by the Chartered Institute of Personal Development to deliver a seminar at Leeds Metropolitan University to a range of HR Managers, HR Consultancies and freelancers on the trending topics in the employment sphere.
‘Trending’ is quite the appropriate word as a good deal of the seminar focused upon the hot button issue of social media and how to manage this in the workplace. This included explaining how to ensure your policies on social media are as robust and clear as possible, as well as some entertaining examples of recent cases that have raised questions about what is and is not appropriate when an employee mentions their place of work on Facebook.
As well as dealing with established areas such as retirement policies, the seminar also dealt with the recent tribunal reforms in addition to the emerging issues of the e-cigarette and infra-red alcohol testing devices and how best to implement a legally sound policy.
The seminar was greatly received and we must say that we had a wonderful day out at the Leeds Met campus!
SCE Solicitors are available to deliver similar or bespoke seminars up and down the UK on the full spectrum of employment law and HR issues, so if you would like us to pay you a visit and deliver one, please do contact us at hello@scesolicitors.co.uk!
