Bevan Brittan is hosting an employment law workshop to advise how to manage sickness absence and performance management on Tuesday 22 May between 8.30– 11am at its London office.

The breakfast training session, run in association with the British Hospitality Association, is aimed at human resources directors and managers, operations directors, line managers and occupational health advisers within the leisure and hospitality industry.

Jodie Sinclair, employment law associate at Bevan Brittan said: “For the Leisure and Hospitality Industry, sickness absence and performance issues are a regular challenge to operational delivery and efficiency. There are significant cost implications for employing organisations. Stress remains the second largest cause of workers’ absence so this is a very hot topic so we think it’s a good time to advise the industry on the best ways to manage these issues.”

The lawyers leading the workshop will look at how to effectively manage short-term sickness absence; bullying and harassment within organisations; and the increasing culture of stress claims. It will suggest how to improve operational efficiency; drive down long-term costs and minimise the risk of legal claims.
