Time is running out! Slots at this year's Employment Law Masterclass Australia are filling fast, and this is one event HR leaders cannot afford to miss.
The Employment Law Masterclass Australia, taking place online on 19 August, is a one-day virtual event offering HR leaders a rare opportunity to hear directly from the country's leading employment lawyers.
