As the UK approaches the end of the formal lockdown on 2 December 2020, businesses enter a further period of uncertainty in terms of the tier-system and what it might mean for them. We have helped many of our clients navigate their way through these unprecedented times, and will continue to do so in the coming weeks and months.

For charities and not-for-profit organisations, this uncertainty will be a further hurdle to overcome. In conjunction with the Norfolk Community Foundation, Harriet Howes, Senior Associate within our Employment Team, will be conducting a lunchtime webinar on Wednesday 16 December 2020 aimed at this sector, to discuss common concerns for employers during lockdown and beyond.

Now, more than ever, charities and not-for-profit organisations are struggling to know the right approach to tricky employment law issues. Harriet will be discussing the current economic support offered to businesses and their employees by way of furlough leave and the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, as well as looking at more practical concerns for employers in terms of asking employees to attend the workplace, flexibility with job descriptions and duties during the pandemic, and how to effectively manage both employee performance, as well as employee well-being, remotely.

Harriet is passionate about supporting the local community and in her role on the Board of Directors at Norfolk ProHelp, she prides herself on making a difference and giving back to organisations that may not ordinarily have the resources to access the expert legal advice they need.
