EMA Legal Webinar: Avoiding Common Pitfalls When Restructuring

Restructuring and redundancy are on people’s minds. We’re hearing this directly from you, with February seeing the highest number of calls to AdviceLine for guidance on restructuring and redundancies since July last year.  

With the right tools and planning, a restructure can create a stronger, motivated and more efficient team. When mishandled, you risk a downward slide towards personal grievances and reputational damage. Restructuring takes significant effort – and it’s important you get it right. Join us for an expert webinar with the EMA’s Head of Legal, Mauro Barsi, to get the constructive information you need to successfully manage the process and deliver the desired outcomes. Mauro will cover many common pitfalls using learnings from case law examples, including:

• Creating a water-tight business case
• Disestablishing roles and the requirements for redeployment
• Sick leave or prolonged absence during a restructure
• Successful selection criteria and consultation
• Managing timeframes
• There will also be time for Q&A with Mauro.
