Simon Geere from Alexander Lloyd’s HR Recruitment Team & Rebecca Thornley-Gibson from DMH are pleased to invite you to a webinar on 25th March 2021 at 12pm

Restrictive covenants divide opinion on whether they are necessary and enforceable in employment contracts, but many employers see significant value in using them to protect their business interests.

The debate is about to get more interesting as a government consultation on the use of restrictive covenants is now underway; in this webinar, we discuss how you can use restrictive covenants for business benefit, and what possible changes may arise as a result of the current consultation.

As always there is a steady stream of new employment law that we all need to keep up to date with so we’ll be selecting some of the most important 2020 and 2021 case law and legislative developments to share with you.

As the New Year brings new challenges with another lockdown, we bring you the first in a new series of HR webinars.  

In our first webinar, we partner with Andy Knorpel, a Consultant at Synchrony Law, and Wendy Ladd, an occupational health specialist practitioner with AWL Occupational Health, who has a particular interest in mental health.  

Even before the most recent lockdown was announced, many employers had decided that their staff would be unlikely to return to the workplace for a number of months.  It now seems highly unlikely that office life will return to any kind of normality (whatever that may be) before Easter 2021.  Some staff have been happy to work from home, but others have greatly missed their previous interactions with colleagues. 

Simon Geere, Andy and Wendy will be looking at employee mental health and related issues arising out of the pandemic and lockdown.  They will discuss what problems are likely to arise and focus on how employers should deal with them.
