As the New Year brings new challenges with another lockdown, we bring you the first in a new series of HR webinars.   In our first webinar, we partner with Andy Knorpel, a Consultant at Synchrony Law, and Wendy Ladd, an occupational health specialist practitioner with AWL Occupational Health, who has a particular interest in mental health.   Even before the most recent lockdown was announced, many employers had decided that their staff would be unlikely to return to the workplace for a number of months.  It now seems highly unlikely that office life will return to any kind of normality (whatever that may be) before Easter 2021.  Some staff have been happy to work from home, but others have greatly missed their previous interactions with colleagues.  Simon Geere, Andy and Wendy will be looking at employee mental health and related issues arising out of the pandemic and lockdown.  They will discuss what problems are likely to arise and focus on how employers should deal with them.   www.alexanderlloyd.co.uk   Check out the HR Talk UK podcast on our YouTube channel : https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjg0sknUa97odO-B5eSh3KjD1DVZirBb3
