The webinar offers an overview of the challenges encountered by employers on a daily basis when implementing reductions in force (RIFs)   in the Asia-Pac region and provides practical tips on how to overcome them.

More specifically, the topics covered will include:

·         The employment legal framework governing RIFs in Australia, China, Hong Kong and Singapore

·         A view of the local market in particular with regard to the use and amount of any ex gratia payments and additional benefits

·         What goes wrong most frequently and how such errors could be avoided or reduced

·         A look to the future - any key changes on the horizon that could potentially influence future RIF planning

The webinar is led by Pattie Walsh (Co-Head of our Asia-Pac Employment Practice) as well as members of our highly regarded International Employment team from Australia, China, Hong Kong and Singapore - Kristy Peacock-Smith, Ying Wang, Jeannette Tam and Goh Seow Hui
