The recent case of 𝘎𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘢𝘨𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘷 𝘔𝘤𝘒𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘰𝘯’𝘴 𝘈𝘶𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘛𝘺𝘳𝘦𝘴 𝘓𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘥 highlights the value of Section 111A ERA, which safeguards pre-termination negotiations as "protected conversations," making them inadmissible in ordinary unfair dismissal claims.   The EAT ruled that offering a settlement at a return-to-work meeting was not “improper,” highlighting the importance of following the Acas Code on S.111A to enable open, professional discussions on mutual exits. 🔗Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eZ-V5XwC #HR #EmploymentLaw #Leadership

Compliance with labor and employment laws is a cornerstone of corporate governance, requiring businesses to adhere to a broad set of regulations that safeguard employee rights, ensure workplace safety, and regulate wages and benefits. As regulatory scrutiny intensifies, maintaining compliance in labor and employment not only protects employees but also reinforces ethical business practices, strengthens governance structures, and ensures accountability throughout the organization. Some of the key moves in the compliance landscape are as below👇🏻 Amit Sonawane Amit Bindal Nikunj Savaliya Dheeraj Kumar Sharma Murlee Manohar Jain Manick Sharma Sushil Sachdeva Nipun Doshi NILUFER SHEKHAWAT Shuchi Batra Kathuria #compliancemoves #vahuraview #ethicsandcompliance #talentacquisition #compliancelandscape #legal #industry #changes #regulations #impact

Credible & actionable data is a key pillar of SLCP’s new 5-year strategy. As a relatively young multi-stakeholder initiative, we have learned a lot during the first five years of implementation of our converged social assessment tool, and from the feedback we have received from stakeholders. In addition, the context in which we operate has changed, with the fast-paced development of the regulatory landscape over the last few years. In a series of #SourcingJournal guest articles (3), we will set out our current thinking on the importance of streamlined and trusted data in the implementation of Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) and, in particular, the role we envisage for SLCP in facilitating the collection and sharing of such data. In this first article we underline the need for an evolution of traditional audits and how a genuine multi-stakeholder approach is key for 'for fit for purpose' tools. Different actors need trusted data to support more effective due diligence, to drive remedy and prevention, to improve purchasing practices, and to inform evidence-based policymaking.  In such an holistic vision, tools should be rooted in international labor standards and national labor law. Governments must play a critical role in ensuring the durable protection of their citizens, including workers in facilities. #SLCP #HRDD #Multistakeholder #decentwork #globalsupplychains
