Duration: 1 Hour

Presented by International Legal Affairs Committee, Sponsored by Eversheds LLP.

If you have responsibilities for HR in European jurisdictions, navigating through the differences in employment regulations across borders can be challenging. In this webinar, we will cover the following;

  • Managing a downsizing exercise in various European jurisdictions.
  • Summary of the applicable legal instruments.
  • A practical guide around the usual pitfalls when implementing a redundancy plan and project management approach.
  • Summary of the main information and consultation obligations in key jurisdictions such as UK, France, Germany, Poland and Belgium/Netherlands.

There are significant differences between European jurisdictions in the way employment law has been implemented and in custom and practice. These inconsistencies pose challenges and risk for an HR professional who has been tasked with implementing a cross-border restructuring. Unlike other presentations, which tend to look at the employment laws in individual European states, this course looks across borders.
