Webinar – How to Fairly Consult With Staff to Survive a Coronavirus Downturn

Practical Tips on How to Fairly Consult With Staff to Survive a Coronavirus Downturn

In this free informal webinar, HR Consultants Caitlin Anniss and Sarah Martin from Narrow Quay HR and Jessica Scott-Dye from VWV will talk you through the practical steps a business needs to follow to ensure a consultation process is fair and compliant. We will also talk through how to consult with staff who are working remotely.

There are lots of different scenarios in which a business may need to consult with their staff. Unfortunately, as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, some businesses are going to be in the difficult position of having to consider fairly significant measures in order to survive, particularly once furloughing staff is no longer an option. This might include salary cuts, part time working or even redundancies, all of which require consultation with staff.

There will be opportunities to ask questions and consider practical scenarios around how to tackle a consultation process in practice.

Cost: Free Entry

When: 18 Jun 2020

Time: 9.00am – 10.00am

Who Should Attend?

  • Business Owners
  • Those Within a Business Responsible for HR Issues.
