Webinar: All I Want for Christmas Is… No Employment Claims

Your guide to managing end-of-year functions and festive season risks

The festive season is a time to celebrate achievements, thank employees for their hard work and connect with colleagues and clients. However, Christmas parties, client events and end-of-year functions can also create significant workplace risks, with employers often facing complaints, investigations and legal claims arising from conduct that occurs outside the office.

Join Anat Hirsh, Special Counsel, and Asha Cardwell, Senior Associate at HR Legal, to explore the employment law issues that tend to emerge during the festive season and provide practical strategies to help your organisation celebrate responsibly while minimising risk.

This session will cover:

• What employers can do before, during and after festive season events to reduce legal and workplace risks
• Recent workplace law developments, including Respect@Work obligations, and how they may impact end-of-year functions
• The policies, procedures and communications every employer should have in place before celebrations commence
• Responding effectively when issues arise, including complaints, misconduct allegations and inappropriate workplace behaviour
• Practical event planning considerations for HR teams, managers and business leaders
• Lessons from recent real-world cases involving workplace functions, alcohol, social events and employee misconduct

Whether you’re planning a team lunch, a Christmas party, or a large-scale client function, this webinar will help ensure your organisation enters the festive season prepared, informed and ready to manage risk.
