The improvisation was accompanied by presentations given by
employment law experts from Hegarty LLP Solicitors Martin Bloom and
Tim Thompson.
The
Employment Law Half Day Briefing, hosted by Anne Corder Recruitment
and Hegarty LLP Solicitors in conjunction with Roleplay UK, is an
additional date in Peterborough’s business calendar and was prompted
by the introduction of a raft of new legislation covering
disciplinary and grievance procedures.
“It is
vital everyone involved in employment law and HR keeps abreast of
new changes,” said Anne Corder. “We recognised the need for an extra
seminar this year because of the volume of new legislation coming
into force.
“The
format – a departure for us - enabled everyone to be involved and
challenged us all to think about our approach when dealing with
difficult situations. It was a very different way to present topical
information and one which worked very effectively.”
Partner in
Hegarty LLP Solicitors Martin Bloom said: “The seminar underlined to
local businesses the importance of complying with the new procedures
after April 6. Involving Roleplay UK was a useful way of
demonstrating actual scenarios rather than simply referring to sets
of statutory regulations.”
The actors
played out the case of a fictional accountant caught apparently
rifling through colleagues’ jacket pockets – and how his line
manager dealt with the subsequent disciplinary issues.
The
Employment Law Half Day Briefing was staged at the National Centre
for Deafblindness, in Hampton, Peterborough.
