Supporting Return and Re-Entry for Employees
Event Information
About this event
As employers, we have specific responsibilities as we bring back employees from an extended absence or absence from site. As a society, we are also all adjusting to a re-entry to more normal ways of life as we emerge from lockdown.
This session will help you:
- Understand the HR essentials of managing staff returning after extended absence
- Understand how to manage this process well and the benefits of that
- Understand the personal issues staff might face after a gap in engagement, including motivation and organisation
- Consider the wider context of adjusting to re-entry to society as we emerge from lockdown, and how we can support that as employers
There are 18 places available on this FREE course.
Priority will be given to one person per organisation, and to non-NPO museums in the Yorkshire and Humber region.
How will the training be delivered?
This training is being developed and delivered by Jane Walton, an experienced trainer and facilitator and an active trustee and director of community and heritage organisations.
We will also deliver a complementary session on Supporting Return and Re-Entry for Volunteers on Wednesday 28th April, and a session on running an Organisational Re-Set as we emerge from this extraordinary period for people and organisations on Wednesday 5th May. Each session is stand-alone, and you can book for the sessions which are relevant to you.
