Case study 1Imagine you have just been informed by your managing director that staff headcount needs to be reduced at all sites by five hundred people. The deadline for reaching this target is immediate and this must be achieved as cost effectively as possible and without unnecessary tribunal claims - would you have the knowledge and skills to effectively manage the situation and prevent liability from occurring?
This interactive case study will allow HR professionals to get to grips with the law on redundancy and offers practical advice for managing within the law - even when working to a tight schedule. |

Case Study 2A reallocation of work between existing employees is to take place. There will be no reduction in employee numbers. However, the job content and terms and conditions will change. The employees will now have to concentrate on selling and cold calling, rather than account management. They will also be redistributed on a geographical basis rather than on a key account basis.
This interactive case study allows you to get to grips with the recent case law in this area and provides answers to the difficult questions which arise when a business reorganisation occurs. |
| 11:45 |
Case study 3Imagine your MD is interested in buying an insolvent business from the administrators. There were some redundancies when the administrator was appointed, which, you have been told, were to ‘tidy up the business’ and ‘get it ready for sale’.
This interactive case study offers practical advice on how to handle TUPE, insolvency and redundancy. Hear best practice advice on managing within the law and avoiding unnecessary tribunal action. |
