Hybrid Working Trends & Disputes - All the Complex Issues Explored

Introduction

The emergency circumstances of the pandemic resulted in an almost immediate implementation of remote and hybrid working for many employers, which represented a substantive change to working arrangements. This meant many hybrid working policies were developed at speed rather than with an eye to any longer-term impact. However, five years on, the consequences are beginning to bite and the differing expectations between employer and employee as to how hybrid working should operate moving forwards is leading to workplace conflict.

This new virtual classroom seminar will explore some of the more complex issues that can arise in the context of hybrid working, whether that is dealing with a lack of compliance with existing hybrid working arrangements, or an employer’s desire to reduce or remove hybrid working.

It will be of interest to HR professionals and in-house employment lawyers.
