Navigating Organisational Change: The People Aspect of Managing a Restructure In-house Training

Course overview

Organisations need to change to keep apace with the environment in which they are operating. This constant demand for change affects the people which work within the organisation. The change could mean that your business needs to keep employees, but ask them to do something different. Alternatively, change could mean that fewer people are needed and the possibility of redundancies needs to be addressed. Another alternative is that a decision has been taken to sell part or all of the business, or change a service provider and hence a transfer of undertaking will apply.

All of these scenarios need managing professionally, legally and with sensitivity. This course will give you the knowledge and skills to approach your particular business situation with confidence and clarity.

Part one of this webinar focusses on variation of contract. Do you want the employee to do different work, work from a different location, work different hours…? The expert trainer will explore how to make the change lawfully.

Part two looks at how to manage a redundancy process. The trainer will start by defining what is legally meant by a redundancy, and then walk through the process from announcing the redundancy to parting company with the employees.

Part three tackles what is meant by a transfer of undertaking and how that process should be managed.

The trainer will use case studies to bring the subject to life and help embed the learning. there will also be time during the course for you to ask your specific questions.
