Managing Redundancies in Education
No organisation wants to face redundancies. However, with inflation currently at 2.3%, constrained budgets, and the possibility of VAT on school fees , many schools and universities may need to make cutbacks and restructure their teams in order to maintain financial viability and continue delivering quality education.
In this free 60-minute webinar exclusively for the education sector, you will learn how to implement proper procedures so that you can minimise legal risks, support affected employees, and maintain morale and trust within your school.
