The COVID-19  pandemic has forever changed the way businesses operate. Remote working is now a legal option and common practice as employees in the UAE quickly transitioned to working from home within a short period. As the UAE moves towards a phased gradual return to the work, key factors need to be considered to ensure performance and business targets and objectives are achieved.

During this webinar, we will cover:

• Considerations for performance management during COVID-19;
• Adjustments and effective performance management process during COVID-19;
• How to discipline and/or terminate an employee due to capability whilst remote working;
• Contractual amendments and review of HR policies in light of COVID-19.
