The recent P&O mass firings have yet again highlighted the critical role HR plays in managing a business’ reputational risks – and how it can go horribly wrong.
Controversial approaches, such as “fire and rehire” or other detrimental measures, impact employee relations and capture media attention.
With businesses facing increasing costs, they may be looking to pass these on to employees who are themselves facing a rise in the cost of living. Any action should be carefully managed and there are some practical steps that should be followed to minimise legal and reputational problems.
Join employment law expert Anna Elliott from leading law firm Osborne Clarke in her monthly webinar on the latest updates for senior HR – with Q&A.
What you’ll learn:
- How to avoid redundancy backlash, why you need to have your policies present, correct – and updated
- How to improve communication and ensure you have the right language and delivery models in place
- Brexit and international employment – how can you stay ahead of unforeseen issues
- Union relationships – how to work with unions in volatile situations
