EMPLOYMENT LAW

The new working world - part one

By Greg Burgess Adam Williams

22/04/2021

Most businesses are now turning their attention to what their working environment will look like going forward, and how they might use the lessons of the last year to re-shape their working models, to ensure they have a high performance culture and are an employer of choice.

Session 1: Our Employment team will consider some of the more immediate practical and legal issues arising from a return to work, focusing on aspects such as health and safety, vaccinations, working time and flexible working, requests to work overseas, and data security. Speakers for this webinar include Employment Partners Greg Burgess and Adam Williams.
