Episode 138 - How to manage: Suspensions

Although it’s something that HR professionals and leaders won’t need to do that often, suspending employees is something that many of us will face over the course of our careers, and is something that simply must be understood, to reduce the risks involved. There have also been significant developments and various cases in recent years, highlighting the complexity of this HR challenge.

But we’re in luck, as we have someone who can guide us through these cases, key takeaways, and considerations, as we’re joined again by Anne Lyne, a partner with the Employment team at Hayes solicitors, on episode 138 of The HR Room Podcast.
