The labour markets in most countries in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) have been recording their lowest ever unemployment rates. In this climate, legislation is catching up with the standards of the wealthier western countries. Employee rights are on the rise and the CEE labour market continues to be one of the most dynamic in Europe.

Many of the changes being introduced to deal with technological change, not least the gig economy, have been warmly welcomed by the market. But it is still necessary to carefully manage change, including the ramifications of Brexit and other extraordinary political events. At the same time, shortages in the workforce in some regions are encouraging the migration of workers across borders, and expat matters are receiving more attention. There are, as ever, novel challenges to be confronted, but they are inspiring imaginative legislative solutions. What companies need in these turbulent times is a reliable and far-sighted guide to help them negotiate the rocky legal terrain and reach their long-term business goals.
