Employee activism and the new world of labour relations
%22Employee activism%22 is what happens when employees speak up with concerns about their employer’s approach to subjects that are political, social and environmental. Often driven by younger workers, it takes place outside the traditional engagement with trade unions and employee representative bodies. It is on the rise. The session will look at what is driving this new phenomenon and at the range of possible responses. Should employers open a separate dialogue with employees on these subjects or try to confine them to more traditional forms of engagement and labour relations? What is the response of the trade union movement? Is there a connection between activism and the wider ESG agenda? What about retaliation risks and protections for the activists?

The World Post-Covid: How the Pandemic Has Changed the Workplace Forever
%22Employment lawyers have spent much of the last two years providing “emergency advice” on everything from government employment support schemes to the possibility of compulsory vaccination. Now we find ourselves grappling with the permanent shifts the pandemic has caused: the rapid rise of hybrid and remote working; new work-life balance challenges, and pressure for “rights to disconnect”; the challenge of managing a dispersed workforce; the impact of privacy laws when the office is also the home. This session considers these issues, and ponders, what the new equilibrium will look like.%22
