Why You Need This Recording

The world of HR consultancy has changed. The recent Handa case has shown that HR consultants can, in certain circumstances, be held personally liable for the advice they give.

Add to that the increasing litigiousness of employees and clients alike, and the risk landscape is sharper than ever.

If you don’t have clear protections in place, one dispute could derail everything you’ve built.

This recording shows you how to risk-proof your HR consultancy - with practical tactics you can apply immediately.
