Food, drink and hospitality businesses across the South West are being invited to attend Stephens Scown‘s Autumn Employment Law Update, a series of events designed to help employers understand significant changes to employment and immigration legislation.
Taking place in Taunton, Exeter, Truro and online during October, the sessions will provide practical guidance for business owners, managers and HR professionals navigating an increasingly complex employment landscape.
