Dealing with possible redundancies or restructuring, or staff transferring from or to another company is now a common part of business life. Both senior managers and line managers need to understand the implications of all these situations, both so that they can plan responsibly and so that they can safeguard their organisation from risk of litigation.

The legislation and case law governing redundancy and TUPE (business transfers) is complex and continues to evolve. It is vital that senior managers plan ahead and can understand all the implications and how the law needs to be applied in their particular situation. International Workplace offer an introduction to redundancy and TUPE training course to help you through these complexities.
