Business Essentials 2015

Stress to Success - Leadership in Challenging Times
Krishan Ramyead, Doctor of Chiropractic, THRIVE Chiropractic
Wednesday 14th October, 4-6pm, Poole

There is perhaps no greater skill than being able to lead yourselves and others to a greater vision. This is perhaps the most rewarding, fulfilling and possibly lucrative activity that we can engage in...and the most challenging!

However, there are patterns and secrets that great leaders use that are available to all. In this powerful talk we will identify these patterns and what could be holding you back from harnessing them now! Get the absolute most out of your employees and yourself. See below for more information.

Employment Contracts - Their Importance and What to Include
Nicky Cooksley, HR & Training Doctor Ltd
Wednesday 11th November, 4-6pm, Poole

A well written and enforceable Employment Contract is essential for setting out the rights and obligations of both parties in an employment relationship. Far more robust than a Written Statement of Particulars, a carefully drafted Employment Contract offers greater levels of protection to both employer and employee, reducing the risk of disputes both during employment and after it has ended.

In this session, we welcome back Nicky Cooksley of HR & Training Doctor Ltd. Nicky will outline the importance of well written and enforceable Employment Contracts and share insight on both the basic and key clauses to include. The session will also cover different types of contracts such as zero hours and term time only, amending contracts, drafting and using Restrictive Covenants which put in place post-termination employment restrictions, whether making a benefit "discretionary" is worth it, and how contractual changes can come about inadvertently through custom and practice. See below for more information.
