How to Manage Ill and Injured Employees: Webinar Series
Every employer has ill or injured employees in their workforce at some point. When an employee becomes ill or injured there are a number of overlapping legal protections that apply to them. If fact, it’s one of the most highly protected areas of employment law.
It’s important for employers to understand how this area works so they can effectively manage ill and injured employees while minimising their exposure to legal risk.
We invite you to join our complimentary three-part webinar series where we will help you understand this area and equip you with tools and strategies for managing ill and injured employees.
The webinar series will be hosted by Sean Melbourne, Managing Director of Source’s Workplace team, and he will be joined by industry experts Michael Cole and Renee Compain-Helsloot.
These webinars will be in a Q&A format to allow you to ask questions of our presenters.
If you’re unable to attend the live webinar, we still encourage you to register, and we’ll send you the recording afterward.
