Our biggest annual event yet, the seminar will feature guest speakers from Defra, Blake Lapthorn, the Recruitment and Employment Confederatio. At the seminar, we will be discussing how procurement, HR and finance departments can best structure internal roles and payscales to combat the AWD as well as the taxation benefits of working with umbrella companies.
Our speakers will examine the role of temporary agency labour in guiding companies out of the recession, and suggest ways for achieving sustainable procurement.
Why attend?
Do you know how the AWD will affect your temporary workforce?
Do you know how you will manage your workforce coming out of a recession?
How will you manage your workforce costs as the economy grows?
Do you have a sustainable procurement programme?
Does it maximise value and savings as well as being fair and sustainable?
Are your agency suppliers legal? Are you exposing your organisation to risk?
