Head of employment at Midlands law firm Berryman, Ginny Hallam,
is keynote speaker at a 'Beating the Odds' seminar next week, run
for local businesses by Nottingham-based independent insurance and
financial adviser, The Wilson Organisation.
Ginny will investigate some of the steps towards mitigating the
potential risks of recruitment for a business, but not at the
expense of attracting good employees, and share ideas on the most
effective terminology employers should use in employment contracts
which will contribute to minimising the risks to the business of a
contract terminating, without compromising its attractiveness to
the employee.
Wilsons' MD Charlotte Prow explains: "Traditionally it has been
the view that when it comes to making business decisions, the
greater the level of risk taken, the greater the rewards will be.
However, this is certainly not the case today, with many businesses
battling to minimise risk - but in so doing, losing potential
revenue for their companies.
"This penultimate session in our 'Beating the Odds' series of
seminars will demonstrate how substantial rewards can be gained by
controlling risks effectively in business areas including sales,
managing employees, running benefits and insurance programmes, all
topics which will be greatly enhanced with an insight from Ginny,
one of the regions leading employment lawyers. Delegates will come
away armed with practical tips on how to apply various strategies
and lessen risk in a more effective way - enabling them to focus on
growth and reward for the business."
Wilsons' Simon Hellier and Alan Johnson will focus on how to
effectively manage risks in further key areas of a business, such
as health and safety, insure a business against long-term
absenteeism or death of an employee, and will feature case study
examples to demonstrate how employers can cost-effectively insure
against certain risks, to allow more focus on growth and
reward.
This session takes place on Thursday 21st January 2010 and the
Wilsons' Beating the Odds series of seminars concludes on the 25th
February with a session tackling 'Beating the personal taxman', in
time for the tax year end. Both events are complimentary, take
place at The Carriage Hall, Perkins Restaurant, Nottingham, from 12
noon to 2.15pm, and include lunch. To reserve a place, email:
