EMEA and Asia-Pacific HR & Employment Law Horizon Scanning & Update for the Life Sciences sector

We are delighted to launch our 2023 edition of Horizon Scanning. In the report we discuss the 12 key trends influencing the global HR and employment law agenda in 2023 and beyond, including the future of flexible and international working, rise of workplace activism, role of HR in the sustainability agenda, development of DE&I topics and much more. Our special feature article discusses generative AI and its implications for employers.

The report includes a country-by-country guide to upcoming legal changes across EMEA and Asia-Pacific, with practical guidance and a ‘traffic light’ code to help your organisation prioritise key issues.

Also contained within the report is a commentary specific to the Life Sciences & Healthcare sector to identify commercial trends which affect your business, and to make these topics ever more relevant to you and your organisation.

Here at Bird & Bird, where I have worked since 1996, I co-head the International Employment Group. I specialise in ensuring that clients, wherever they are based around the world, receive the level of support to get the best from their key asset – their people. I understand the importance to clients of receiving advice from a trusted adviser who combines legal expertise with honesty, acute awareness of a constantly changing world and how those changes will impact your workforce and business. My aim is to ensure we deliver more than legal advice but produce solutions based on a nuanced exercise of judgment of your particular circumstances and priorities.
