Virtual HR Forum ~ Flexibility, Hybrid & Remote Working ~ Rubicon & Ellis Jones

Flexibility, Hybrid & Remote Working

Rubicon Recruitment and Ellis Jones are delighted to invite you to the FREE HR Forum – a monthly session for HR Professionals to explore, and discuss, topics of interest within their field with other like-minded professionals.

Hosted by Jess Comolly-Jones (Co-Managing Director, Rubicon) and Kate Brooks (Head of HR and Employment Law Partner, Ellis Jones) you’ll benefit from the opportunity to network with peers and share advice & best practice.

As employees increasingly demand flexibility, HR leaders must balance productivity, culture and compliance in a rapidly evolving workplace.

The session will take place virtually on Zoom, on Wednesday 23rd April 2025, and will provide clarity on the legal landscape of hybrid and remote work, explore best practices for managing flexible teams and offer practical strategies to create policies that work for both employees and the organisation.

Kate & Jess will be covering:

• Designing flexible working policies that align with business needs
• Managing remote teams while encouraging collaboration and engagement
• Legal responsibilities for remote work: health, safety and compliance
• Maintaining organisational culture in a flexible work environment
