Join Adam Foster from CBP for a practical and timely discussion on the employment law issues currently shaping Australian workplaces. Adam will examine how artificial intelligence is being used and viewed in the employment context, including emerging complaints, legal risks and litigation.

 

He will also explore the changing expectations surrounding workplace investigations in the wake of recent high-profile matters, including what HR practitioners should expect from lawyers when engaging them to conduct or advise on an investigation.

 

The forum will conclude with an overview of current trends in unfair dismissal and general protections claims, highlighting key developments and practical considerations for HR professionals.

 

This interactive session will provide AHRI members with valuable legal insights and practical guidance to help them navigate emerging workplace risks and engage effectively with legal advisers.
