COVID-19: HR Regulatory Issues
With COVID-19 expected to impact businesses for the foreseeable future there will continue to be a range of HR and employment considerations for investment management firms.
Management will rightly anticipate scrutiny of their COVID-19 response and internal arrangements, particularly if there are repercussions for customers. As firms move from the initial crisis response phase to more medium-term 'new normal' working patterns, some areas to consider are:
- How to tackle the transition back to working in the office in the light of employee objections or caring responsibilities
- Protecting confidential information from unlawful use by remote workers
- How to deal with the absence of key staff due to COVID-19
- Other employment law challenges stemming from COVID-19
This in-depth discussion will teach you best practices on how to address these issues.
