This extended webinar is designed for those responsible for and managing travel business workforces. It will provide an essential employment law update, timely guidance for those returning to the office and discussion on changes to travel workforces post COVID-19.

About this webinar

Get an update from experts in travel law on the final steps around the end of the furlough scheme, your duty of care for staff returning to the office, changes to staff contracts and what the EU-UK trade and cooperation agreement means for staff working in the EU.

As many businesses begin a phased return to the office, understand your responsibilities as an employer. Hear discussion on the procedures to manage the transition back the office including different hybrid working models, staff rotas, communication strategies and addressing staff concerns and anxieties around perceived risks.

Hear expert advice on how to look after your staff as working patterns change, providing support both in the office and at home. Understand key considerations if you are developing and implementing new working policies.

Learn about the skills gaps within the travel industry and how you can look to fill these, including staff training, utilising apprenticeships and changes to current staff job roles.

Submit your questions in advance, or get them answered live by our expert speakers during dedicated Q&A sessions.
