Webinars

Knowledge is never static. It is always evolving.

The labour and employment laws that govern working relationships, along with the standards and policies which both define and direct the occupational culture unique to every business, are constantly in flux.

This continuous ebbs and flow of ever-changing regulations nationally, regionally and globally has a very real impact on businesses worldwide, requiring employers to adjust quickly and instate appropriate measures to ensure compliance with the latest directives.

In order to help clients effectively adapt to new conditions timely and seamlessly, L&E Global and our member firms regularly host webinars on a variety of trending legal topics that are important to clients operating both nationally and across borders.

Webinars are a great resource for employers to conveniently gain access to the latest legal developments, without the burden of travelling time and costs. At L&E Global, we believe that webinars have the added advantage of facilitating a free and open exchange of know-how, which is key to understanding the many challenges clients face when operating globally, across a variety of sectors and industries.

UK Webinar: Workplace Culture emerging from the Coronavirus Pandemic – Clyde & Co Webinar

Date: Wednesday, 11 November 2020
Time: 2:00 – 3:00 pm GMT
Duration: 1 Hour

The recent government COVID-19 guidance for England that those people who can effectively work from home should do so has underlined the need for employers to ensure that, in addition to handling issues around people attending the workplace, they are making proper provision for staff who are homeworking.

Given that this guidance will be in place for a number of months, this means that many workers are likely to have been working largely from home for a year when restrictions are eased.

At the same time, the COVID-19 pandemic is accelerating changes to workplace culture which would not have been foreseen at the beginning of 2020, and is causing businesses to reassess their culture of presenteeism and regular working hours.

The COVID-19 pandemic, the uncertainties around it and the “new” way of working have created exceptionally challenging times for HR professionals, who are having to contend with significantly higher levels of mental health issues amongst their workforce while also managing a unique set of workplace behaviour and culture issues.

This webinar will explore the practical and proactive steps employers can take to manage issues that are arising in this new way of working, as well as the longer term workplace culture issues that are emerging from COVID-19.

You can register for the webinar clicking here and feel free to forward the invitation to any of your colleagues.
