Understand your legal responsibilities in times of a pandemic

The session looks at how companies implement provisions to staff to work remotely and looks at:

+ Your general duty of care to your employees: Providing a safe place of work for your employees in times of a pandemic
+ Assessing the impact of a prolonged shut-down on your employees and their remuneration structure
+ Managing your employee base: Minimising the risk of people who voluntarily put themselves at risk and understanding the duty of care your employees owe you
+ Absence management: Preparing for home working and managing home workers and productivity
+ Keeping business operations running to minimise your liability exposure

It costs £95 plus VAT. Contact Ark group for more details http://www.ark-group.com/

It seems there is always money to be made in a time of crisis! As I say in my post perhaps organisations need to look into these type of issues in a structured way and not as a knee jerk reaction to some sort of disaster!
