Webinar in partnership with Trowers & Hamlins LLP
We are delighted to invite you to our next webinar at 3 pm – 3 45pm on Tuesday 7 December in partnership with long-standing Housing Forum members, Trowers & Hamlins LLP looking at coming back to the office and the move to agile working.
Following the successful webinars in 2020 and earlier 2021, we are holding this event to discuss the implications for staff and your businesses of the return to the office after the last 18 months or so. We’ll also consider whether a move to agile working is a revolution that will change the world of work for ever. We’ll also cover the live issues of requiring vaccination, employees refusing to have tests, coming back to the office and whether people are refusing to do so, redundancies and change management, and what agile working might look at in the future.
This event will be in format of a live Q & A webinar – on the very topical matters for all organisations in current and future decision-making for their workforce. We are anticipating interest in this event and recommend early registration and submit your questions soon to avoid disappointment. Book your place
