Just Employment, the Guildford employment law solicitors, and Surrey-based Gateway Transitions, the outplacement specialists, are offering employers a free seminar on Thursday, 13 October, at the County Club in Guildford.
The seminar is for managers who want to know the latest advanced thinking on dealing with dismissals cost-effectively, at least risk to personal and organisational reputation. It will cover strategy, communication, legal compliance and how to cope with the emotional pressures often associated with dismissals. It will also cover the impact of redundancy, looking at a new approach to outplacement to minimising external reputational risk whilst maintaining the morale with those who are left behind.
Geoffrey Bignell of Just Employment said:
‘For many managers, dismissing people is one of the worst jobs they have to do. It often represents failure and no-one wants to be associated with failure. This seminar is about turning failure into success, both for leavers and those left behind.’
Peter Wilford of Gateway Transitions said:
‘’Dismissal is a process managers are often unfamiliar with. Many of us lack confidence in handling conflict. Dismissal is fraught with risks if it goes wrong, not only in terms of management time, but in potential costs to the organisation, its external reputation and the workforce.”
Date: Thursday, 13 October Venue: The County Club, 158 High Street, Guildford GU1 3HJ
Start: 5.30 pm Finish: 7.00 pm with plenty of time for wine and networking.
