Employee Vetting and Screening

Employee Vetting & Screening Pre-Conference Webinar: Global Industry Standards and Initiatives to Ensure Compliance

Time: 11:00 - 11:30 | FREE 

When: Thursday 28th August 2025

With remote work and international hiring becoming the norm, organisations face unprecedented challenges in maintaining consistent vetting standards across multiple jurisdictions. Data protection regulations, employment laws, and industry-specific compliance requirements vary dramatically from country to country, creating a complex web of obligations.

But do you really understand the evolving landscape of global compliance requirements for employee screening? New regulations emerge regularly, and non-compliance can result in significant financial penalties, legal challenges, and reputational damage that can take years to recover from.

In today's interconnected business environment, maintaining robust global screening standards is crucial for protecting your organisation while ensuring fair and compliant hiring practices. This webinar will provide compliance officers and HR professionals with essential knowledge about international best practices and regulatory requirements.

Join us to learn how to navigate complex global regulations, implement standardised screening processes, and build compliance frameworks that protect your organisation while attracting top international talent.

We are accepting questions before and during the broadcast. Please send your questions to elizabeth.smith@bfi.co.uk.
