Two new podcasts to help employers navigate Covid-19

Aberdein Considine's Employment Law team has launched two new podcasts to help employers navigate Covid-19.

The implications of the pandemic have been far reaching – and there is no getting away from the fact that it has hit businesses hard.

In these podcasts - which are available to download from your favourite podcast store - our legal experts examine the key issues and offer some advice to business owners and HR teams dealing with workplace management.

However, there are strict procedures which must be followed. Find out more in our second podcast...
