About the Event:

The new coronavirus (COVID-19) is dominating our private and professional lives. Legal issues around the consequences of these changes to our work environment are manifold. From a HR perspective, how can companies in Japan deal with COVID-19 not only from a health and hygiene perspective but also with view on applicable labor laws and regulations. Besides already existing challenges, how can companies prepare themselves for further emergency scenarios?

The webinar aims to address typical questions arising with view on HR and COVID-19.

With your active participation, you may learn about:

• home office work (e.g. employer’s obligations, working time and performance management, confidentiality)
• continuance of salary payment in various constellations of absence (quarantine, illness, temporary close of operations etc.)
• handling travel requests and restrictions
• medical tests, scope of permitted questions and actions to mitigate risk of infections among staff
• workforce restructuring (e.g. salary cuts, redundancy)

Who benefits from attending:

Executives and HR managers who wish to obtain an overview and deepen their understanding on the relevant legal framework in context of implications of COVID-19 in relation to HR
