Lighthouse HR: Future of Work & Perils of AI

The future of work is here — and it’s complicated

AI is reshaping how we work, hire, and manage people. For HR leaders, it’s not just about keeping up. It’s about understanding where the risks are, where the real opportunities lie, and how to keep your organisation (and your people) safe.

Join MCS Group and employment law experts Emma and Leeanne from Lewis Silkin, Law Firm of the Year 2025, for an exclusive Lighthouse HR session exploring what AI really means for HR.

What you’ll learn

Emma and Leeanne will unpack how AI is already transforming the workplace — and what HR teams need to do next to adapt, protect, and lead responsibly.

We’ll cover:

• The legal and ethical implications of using AI in HR processes
• Policy and compliance risks to watch for now
• How to future-proof your people strategy
• Real examples of AI challenges employers are facing today
• Where HR can take the lead in building responsible AI cultures

Expect open discussion, practical takeaways, and the chance to ask the questions no one else is addressing.

Your speakers

Why attend

AI isn’t coming — it’s already here. And it’s changing how businesses make decisions about people every day.
This event will help HR and business leaders make sense of the shift, avoid the legal pitfalls, and shape a people strategy that’s fit for the future.
