Welcome to the Q1 2025 edition of our quarterly global employment and labour newsletter. As we continue into the year, we are witnessing significant regulatory shifts, technological advancements, and evolving market dynamics that continue to shape our industry and workplaces dynamics across the globe.

In this issue, we explore the impact of recent legislative and other changes across key jurisdictions, including updates on diversity, equity and inclusion in the US, parental leave reforms in South Korea, labour law reforms in Saudi Arabia, and digital platform worker protections in Mexico, as well as insights into the use of AI in employment decisions in Australia. Our experts also provide analysis on new job posting requirements in Canada, trial period restrictions in New Zealand, and employment classification rulings in the Netherlands. We are also excited to share the launch of our Global Pay Transparency and Equity Guide. This new guide allows clients to compare regulations across 50+ jurisdictions, helping prepare for current and upcoming transparency obligations as well as providing an overview of pay equity laws. Backed by our global team of employment and labour law experts, our guide includes an interactive heatmap and a comprehensive overview of the evolving legal landscape, ensuring you stay informed and ahead of regulatory requirements.

We also feature Eun-Jee Kim from our Seoul office, a renowned expert in the employment and labour field. She provides specialised advice to numerous domestic and international companies, possessing deep expertise in all facets of employment and labour law. In addition, her skills extend beyond traditional legal counsel to encompass corporate law, making her a well-rounded adviser in the field. We hope these perspectives equip you with valuable knowledge to navigate this complex environment effectively. Thank you for your continued engagement, and we look forward to another quarter of growth and collaboration.
