A Business Critical Guide on Mitigating Immigration Compliance Risks

In an attempt to preserve and favour domestic labour markets governments are implementing increasingly protectionist immigration policies. This makes corporate immigration compliance more difficult and stringent for businesses looking to mobilise talent. The Home Office is also scrutinizing employers’ compliance and are conducting more pre-arranged and unannounced visits, to audit and inspect policies and systems that business’ have in place. Conversely employers are interested in acquiring global talent to meet commercial objectives, maintain business operations and build a competitive advantage. To be able to achieve effective corporate immigration organisations must examine their internal processes and ensure that their immigration practices are compliant. Attending this workshop will enable you to: • Compete for Global Talent and ensure that the business is strategic when addressing its corporate immigration needs • Assess the role of global mobility within your business and how it contributes towards the overall business objectives? • Reassess recruitment and immigration initiatives in the wake of Brexit • Be prepared to react to any changes in immigration rules governing European citizens’ right to work in the UK Maintain an up-to-date internal compliance program and establish: • How to obtain and retain the critical yet onerous sponsorship license and stay up to date with the changing rules • What role your business plays in the prevention of illegal working in the UK in accordance with the Home Office regime • How to avoid the significant financial, reputational and operational penalties associated with non-compliance • How to prepare for a Home Office visit and identify areas of weakness or non-compliance. How to maintain operational compliance through the training of relevant personnel • How to implement an effective internal communication programs between various functions of the business • Keep cognisant of current law and policy surrounding business immigration
