Changes

A workplace change could be as small as varying the place or hours of work to larger variations such as fundamentally changing the structure of the resourcing your business uses. Each change needs a robust process in place to ensure you comply with your legal obligations.

Doing the right thing

When a business goes through changes, it’s important that you act in good faith. Whether you’re looking at a contract amendment or a complete restructure, it’s vital that you keep your employees in the loop, and create a good business case, before proceeding.

We can help you. Come to us at the beginning, to ensure you get things right from the start.
