Implementing TUPE Effectively. This one-day TUPE training course helps HR managers and Operational leaders to implement TUPE more effectively.
The latest TUPE regulations need to be understood, fully, before any transfer of undertakings commences. This one-day training course brings HR teams and operational management, fully up to date on
What are the TUPE Regulations?
The Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations have implications for both the outgoing employer (transferor) and the incoming employer (transferee). In both situations employees will have concerns, issues and fears that need to be understood and allayed.
Our TUPE training includes the latest changes and developments and provides clarity on areas employers need to focus on. Our TUPE course also highlights the pitfalls and dangers that can develop when employers fail to understand or adhere to good practice. The rules regarding changes to contracts, terms and conditions and working practice are tightly defined. Effecting a transfer is far more complicated than treating every one as a new employee and issuing new contracts.
what can go wrong?
Conflicts between TUPE rules and operational efficiency are all too common. To avoid unnecessary staff upset, unfair dismissal claims and tribunals every transfer need to be managed professionally and with empathy throughout from all parties.
It is essential that HR teams and operational managers involved in any TUPE transfer understand good process and ensure that it is adhered to.
Who is this training for?
This workshop is suitable for all HR teams and Operational Managers from all companies and organisations.
