This workshop is for anyone working in marketing, from in-house marketing to individuals working with a marketing agency as well as self-employed marketing professionals.
The GDPR has been and is still a topic which is a headache for many organisations and this comes together with the European Union ePrivacy regulation which, although not yet in force (the aim was for it to come into force together with the GDPR) aims to broaden the scope of the current ePrivacy Directive and align the various online privacy rules that exist across EU member states. The regulation takes on board all definitions of privacy and data that were introduced within the General Data Protection Regulations, and acts to clarify and enhance it. In particular, the areas of unsolicited marketing, Cookies and Confidentiality are covered in a more specific context.
Employment Benefits: A Win-Win Solution – 3.5 hours of structured CPE
Employees and Employers work together for the benefit of the organisation, and the employees’ enrichment.

Likewise, Employers have to thrive to benefit from their investment and use all resources to grow the organisation and post better profits.
Within this scenario, the workshop will touch upon the various employment benefits existent in the Maltese context. It will also analyse the best practices applied by Maltese organisations, and the issues that such benefits create. The legal framework regulating such benefits, and the fiscal impact thereof will also be discussed.
