The Right to Disconnect?
Macmillan Davies webinar series
Macmillan Davies are delighted to invite you to our webinar in association with Shoosmiths LLP titled 'The right to disconnect'
Civil servants in Belgium now have a legal right to disconnect, so that they can no longer be contacted by their employer outside of working hours. With discussions taking place in the same country within the private sector about a similar law and a 4-day week trial, what does this mean for the future of work?
Join Emma Morgan, a Partner, and Lauren Bholé, an Associate, within the Shoosmiths Employment team for a webinar on the right to disconnect and how this fits into the future world of work.
Emma and Lauren will consider:
• Is 2022 the year that we have to “learn to live with Covid-19”, and what does this mean for our workforces?
• What do we mean by the phrase “the right to disconnect”? Would a right to disconnect work in practice and how would employers enforce it?
• What benefits would a “right to disconnect” bring and what are the risks/pitfalls?
• What steps should employers be taking? Here Lauren and Emma will also discuss the current consultations concerning a 4-day working week
• Concluding remarks on predictions for 2022.
Date: - Wednesday 2 March 2022
Time: - 3pm to 4pm
