Covid-19 employer webinar: what to do this week - 30th April 2020
Our sixth webinar in this popular series continues to draw on our extensive pandemic planning training experience as well as our network of experts, ensuring the questions and challenges you're facing are dealt with thoroughly.
Responding directly to current developments, research and, most importantly, what YOU tell us, we will examine:
- exactly what your responsibility is as an employer and what you should be doing about PPE and testing, both short and long-term
- how to manage workplace relationships in a time of pressure, uncertainty and long-distance working
- post-Covid remuneration planning: ensuring rewards and salary are fair and workable
The discussion will last for thirty minutes followed by a thirty-minute knowledge-sharing session. This new feature will give you a chance to share the lessons learned over the past seven weeks and interact with fellow delegates.
