Organisational Design & Restructuring Including Terms & Conditions & Redundancies
Thursday 9 July 2020 (12.00pm - 12.45pm) with The HR Suite
One of the unexpected consequences of Covid-19 has been a substantial change in the way many of us work and for some organisations and employees this has been a very positive experience. In this webinar Caroline McEnery, the HR Suite will discuss how to carry out organisation redesign and restructuring to help employers cope with the impact on their business efficacy of the pandemic. This will inevitably include some renegotiation of terms and conditions and potential redundancy.

Pitfalls of a Redundancy Process – Fair and non-discriminatory selection during Covid 19
Wednesday 15th July (11am - 12pm) with CC Solicitors

The webinar will consider:
- Cost reduction measures to reduce numbers of compulsory redundancies.
