Advanced TUPE training

null

Who should attend

This Advanced TUPE training course assumes knowledge of the TUPE Regulations. It is aimed at in-house lawyers, managers, HR and specialists, and those with responsibility for outsourcing. It is not suitable for those new to TUPE.

Synopsis

TUPE does not have to be difficult if it is properly planned and staff are trained about their role. Whether you are facing an outsourcing, an acquisition or a sale, a plan needs to be put in place by a dedicated team, and a process followed. This course assumes knowledge of TUPE. It is for in-house lawyers, HR and procurement professionals who have to balance commercial realities with legal liability at every stage.

We consider a growing trend to seek value rather than lowest cost and the benefits of careful follow through after a business change.
