About the Course

Course overview:


Many organisations are being forced to review or change their structure, whether through redundancy, outsourcing or other forms of reorganisation. These changes have legal implications that need to be considered and managed effectively in order to avoid expensive tribunal claims.

This one-day Reorganisation, Restructuring and Redundancy course examines the legal aspects of restructuring, focusing on the employment law challenges for employers.

You might also be interested in the Mediation in the Workplace course. This course provides invaluable skills in dealing with conflict at work.

Course benefits:


The Reorganisation, Restructuring and Redundancy course will give you an up to date view of the key legal issues that you need to consider before changing organisational structure, including contract changes, redundancy law, individual and collective consultation requirements and TUPE issues.
