Breakfast Briefing | Probation periods: Getting the balance right amid changing employment rights

 

Significant changes to employment rights (including the reduction from 2 years to 6 months service for Unfair Dismissal protection) are prompting many employers to revisit their probation practices. Presented by David Lewis and Elena Vaughan from our Employment team, this on-demand employment law webinar will examine the benefits and risks of shorter probationary periods, considerations around performance management, recruitment and retention, discrimination risks, and the impact of the unfair dismissal reforms on hiring strategies.

 


Who should attend?

  • HR professionals
  • Managers with responsibility for people management issues
  • HR Directors and Business Partners
  • Anyone who manages people/a team as part of their role.

How can we help?

If you have any questions regarding the topics discussed in this webinar, our employment lawyers can help. Employment issues rarely arrive at a convenient moment. They consume leadership time and create immediate exposure across reputation, culture and cost, particularly where grievances, high profile disputes, or an employment tribunal claim arise.
