Event: HR Forum with Howes Percival LLP – Rethinking the future of the workplace

Join us for this interactive face-to-face session* to:

• Reflect on the changes made to the workplace as a result of Covid-19 and the associated legal and practical issues which have arisen.
• Debate whether there is a value in the “traditional office” or whether hybrid working is now the new “normal”.
• Discuss how to implement long-term changes to the way employees work and the social, practical and legal implications of such changes.
• Consider how we deal with flexible working requests raised informally and under the statutory scheme.
• Tackle tricky legal and practical issues which have arisen as a result of staff working more flexibly and dealing with workplace closures.
• Consider physical and mental wellbeing strategies post-Covid.
• Address the steps that can be taken to ensure inclusion and diversity in hybrid working environments post-Covid. 

Who is it for?
