Why attend this conference
Restructurings are on the rise as organisations try to maintain a steady cash flow, cut costs to keep shareholders happy and beat the global credit crunch.
Ensuring that HR departments get right the legal aspect of restructures and any necessary redundancies is extremely important, especially now as more and more cases of wrongful dismissal go to tribunal. HR professionals must understand that something as small as the wording of a letter could lead to massive implications for an organisation.
It is not only the law that can cause problems for organisations: restructures can also lead to massive losses in productivity, as staff lose motivation due to the uncertainty of their futures. It is therefore very important that HR departments formulate strategies to support the remaining staff through the upheaval of a restructure, and then motivate them to get back into work as soon as the dust has settled.
This conference will providea definitive guide to the law of restructures and redundancies, communications with staff and other interested parties such as unions, and best practice in supporting staff throughout and after the process.
