Are you aware of the new 'Right to Disconnect' laws?

Natasha Hawker, Managing Director of Employee Matters, addresses these critical questions, explores scenarios where the laws might be tested, and discusses their real-world implications. Will these laws enhance employee rights or lead to unintended consequences?
