Brazil and Mexico are advancing significant working time reforms that could reshape how multinational employers manage their workforces across Latin America. While both countries are moving toward shorter working hours, their approaches, implementation timelines, and implications for employers differ.

Beyond the legal requirements, our speakers will examine the operational and strategic challenges facing employers, including rising labor costs, workforce planning, shift redesign, productivity, and collective bargaining.
Key discussion topics include:
