About this Episode
Managing HR when based in one country can be complicated but when you are looking to expand internationally, education and compliance are key. In this episode of the HR in Review podcast, we look at ways to close that gap.
Guest: Michelle Forster
Bill Banham‘s guest this time is Michelle Forster, Managing Director at Tricord Solutions HR, a company helping businesses through complex M&A, TUPE, and redundancy processes to ensure fair and rigorous procedures are followed to help mitigate employment tribunal exposure.
Questions for Michelle include:
- What are some of the big challenges for HR departments when a company is looking to expand into new jurisdictions?
- What trouble can one get into if they don’t abide by regional requirements?
- For employees looking to transfer to a new territory, what are some typical legal and compliance issues they (and their families) face? (intra-company transfers)
- You help guide companies through the disciplinary and grievance process, if applicable, and if the employee has the potential of being exited from the business. What are some key steps to take to minimise risk and support employers in conducting a fair, equitable, and legally compliant process?
