Moving to smarter working.  Sell the benefits – address the fears  Secure buy in from managers and employees.  Consult and be flexible.  Buy in the change – stagger the change  Communicate, consult and keep voluntary.

Legal considerations.  Information and Consultation requirements.  Redundancy - Sec 188 Notices  Change of contract – constructive dismissal  Collective implications.  Direct or indirect discrimination.  Transfer Regs – variation of contract

Legal considerations. >Health and Safety. >Negligence – Duty of Care/Confidentiality. >Working Time Regulations. >Tax implications.
