10 Pitfalls in German Employment Law #19

Processing employee data is unavoidable for employers - but it remains one of the most sensitive and enforcement-heavy areas under the EU GDPR.
Beyond data protection law, employers must navigate national labor law requirements, employee power imbalance, and increasing scrutiny by data protection authorities.

In this webinar, we highlight ten recurring pitfalls we regularly see in practice – covering recruitment, HR administration, monitoring and investigation tools, and global HR systems – and provide pragmatic guidance on how to mitigate legal and operational risk.

The session is designed for international employers, in particular companies with headquarters outside the EU.
