Restructuring and Redundancy
Restructuring and Redundancy 16th October 2008
Cavendish Conference centre, London W1G 9DT
Restructures and redundancies are on the rise as organisations try to cut costs to beat the global credit crunch and strive to keep shareholders happy in a highly competitive 21st century. Ensuring that HR departments get the legal aspect of restructures and redundancies right 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. This conference will explore the law on restructures and redundancies, communications with staff and other interested parties such as unions and best practice in supporting staff throughout and after the process.
Highlights include:
- Ensure you are clear on the legal processes you have to go through when going through a restructure or redundancy process
- Understand the law surrounding informing and consulting and redundancy selection and redeployment
- Have your legal questions answered by our expert panel of lawyers
- Hear how one organisation reduced it’s workforce by 300 almost entirely through voluntary redundancy and early retirement packages
- Hear best practice from KLM on communications and how to allay fears during a large scale merger and acquisition
- Identify ways to eliminate “the survivor syndrome” among your remaining staff
Who should attend:
Directors, General Managers and Managers responsible for:
- Human Resources
- Change Management
- Employment Law Policy
- Staff representatives
