Course Details

There is no doubt that there were fundamental and unforeseeable events in 2020 and 2021 that brought inevitable changes to the focus fields of HR and people management. 

In this talk, Emma del Torto will review what was happening in HR before March 2020 and take a look at what was considered normal for most workplaces and consider best practice moving forward based on the lessons we have learned in the interim.

 A key focus will be the real and perceived inequalities in working conditions, especially with regard to personal safety. Shifts in attitude, changes to the law and health considerations have brought significant impact to all our working lives, and what has become apparent to everyone as a result of the pandemic is the intrinsic relationship that exists between HR management and H&S.
