PRESS RELEASE – IIM Expert Panel Event on Agency Workers Regulations which become Law in October 2011

38% of Interim Managers “have no clue” how AWR will impact them, 20% anticipate a detrimental effect

 London, 5th August 2011 – On 8th September 2011, the Institute of Interim Management (IIM) will bring together a panel of experts,
including some who were actively engaged in shaping this legislation, to discuss the impact of AWR upon the interim management community and to advise on the steps which interim managers need to consider.  The event is open to all interim managers and service providers who wish to learn more about these important regulations.

According to the IIM’s recent Interim Management Survey 2011, 38 per cent of interim managers “have no clue” how these regulations will affect them while a further 20 per cent anticipate a detrimental effect.  In the same survey, 31 per cent of interim management service providers felt that AWR would have a detrimental impact on interim managers. 

The IIM expert panel will consist of:

  • Adrian Marlowe LLB – Managing Director of Lawspeed and a leading authority on Recruitment Law
  • Tom Hadley – Director of Policy and Professional Services, REC
  • Michael J Linden FCA – Senior Partner at Nyman Linden
  • Melanie Metcalf  CIPD – a practicing HR Interim Manager

The event is generously sponsored by Veredus (voted as the leading interim management service provider in the last two years’ Interim Management Surveys) and Lawspeed.  It will be held at the Hatton, Covent Garden, London and the panel discussion will be followed by a buffet and networking
event. 

Tickets are £15 for IIM members and £25 for non-members and can be booked online at: http://www.iim.org.uk/show-events/awr-ask-the-expert-panel/

Please share this with staff and interim candidates whom you feel will benefit from this discussion.
