Hello!
Welcome to our last update of 2022.
As we see an increasing amount of change going on in organisations, it's no surprise that our opening case this month relates to Redundancy. This particular decision shows the importance of going through a fair and meaningful consultation process. We have tonnes of guidance to help employers through change, which we have shared with you in this month's update.
And with Saturdays news on the behaviours within the London Fire Brigade, there couldn’t be a better time to attend our last Mock Investigation of the year. If the mere mention of the word investigation fills your managers with dread, this workshop will help you as HR professionals support your line managers, and give you an 'oven-ready' structure to use when investigating, to make sure that everyone stays impartial, managers are confident and your investigation will stand the test of the tribunal if it needs to.
And finally from me, we've got some key reminders for HR teams as we head into Christmas party season!
Enjoy your celebrations, and we will see you in January.
