Company directors hold a unique position of power and trust, which comes with numerous legal compliance obligations. In today’s volatile business environment, it is crucial for directors to stay informed about the evolving legal landscape. This session is specifically tailored to equip directors with the tools and knowledge needed to navigate periods of financial distress and understand their obligations to employees, especially given the significant changes to the Fair Work system over the past 12 months.
