Since Russia launched its invasion on Ukraine at the end of February, the west has imposed significant sanctions on Russia, Belarus, and Vladimir Putin's oligarchs who fund his war.

The rapidly evolving nature of the situation has made sanctions compliance an increasing challenge for businesses, but also one that is vital to understand and has prompted many organisations to review their compliance processes.

In this episode, our Director of Best Practice Gary Yantin and Director of Learning and Content Nick Henderson help businesses tackle questions around global sanctions compliance.

After two years of social and financial pressures, and with the pandemic still prevalent in our everyday lives, not everyone is comfortable with returning to the workplace in person. Are your employees struggling with returning to the office? Are they anxious and uncomfortable? How are they doing mentally now that lockdown is over, and what impact has virtual or hybrid working had on their mental health and wellbeing?

In this episode, we hear from a host of experts, including Teresa Higgins, Managing Director at Barbour EHS, Dee Arp, Chief Operating Officer at NEBOSH and Alexis Powell-Howard, Director, Psychotherapist, and TEDx Speaker at Fortis Therapy. They explore the impact of COVID-19 on mental health and wellbeing, why it's time to reshape health and safety strategies, the challenges for leaders in managing people who may feel anxious, and more.

On the fourth anniversary of GDPR coming into force, we looked at the last four years of GDPR, the effect the regulation has had on the way we collect and process data and what we can expect going forward.
