Event description :
In the current economic climate and with daily reports of businesses ceasing to trade and administrators being appointed, many employers will be concerned about the future viability of their organisation. While it is tempting to devote all time and effort to running the business itself, and to let employment law issues take care of themselves, employers should be aware of the many pitfalls, and opportunities, provided by employment law which can impact on their organisation in these difficult times.
In this session we will provide our top tips for dealing with the pressures of the current economic climate and practical pointers regarding which matters should be receiving attention. The session will consider:
- How can you maximise the results achieved by staff?
- What should be done about the employees who are not pulling their weight?
- How can you safeguard the main assets of your organisation – your confidential information and your clients – from unfair competition?
- What about lay offs and short time working – how does this work in practice?
- What alternatives exist to redundancies?
- If a redundancy situation does arise, how should you deal with this and how can you minimise the risks of claims arising in this area?
