WELLINGTON: Restructure - Retiring the one size fits all approach

This seminar is an opportunity to share knowledge with HR professionals, employers and those working in this shared space on how best to approach restructures and outcomes (including redundancies), including how to tailor and adapt rationales and processes from start to finish to reduce the risk and harm to all parties involved.

Morrison Kent’s employment team will focus on restructures from an employment law perspective, including providing practical guidance on:

- Introducing and presenting a restructure proposal and process

- Following a flexible, fair and proper process

- Identifying and genuinely considering redeployment options, and other creative options short of redundancy

- Tailoring next steps and adapting a process when needed

- Considering employee’s reactions, unique factors and outcomes

- Pre-empting legal claims, and smart and efficient responses when they do arise.

You will walk away with a greater understanding of how to throw away the one size fits all approach to restructures, and make sure the process and outcome works for your business, and limits the impact on staff.

Join us from 5.30 PM for nibbles, drinks and networking - the presentation will then start at 6.00 PM!
