Key labour relations risks trending in the South African workplace, such as changing standards in dismissal fairness, sexual harassment obligations, religious accommodation, workplace violence during industrial action, and the growing intersection of technology and employment law. Practical guidance for recalibrating internal policies, case strategies, and HR/ER practices to align with the latest legal and workplace imperatives. Throughout the session, Jonathan Goldberg, Chairman of Global Business Solutions, synthesises the forces shaping South African labour policy with the clarity and depth that have made the GBS updates a cornerstone for HR and ER professionals nationwide.
