Webinar: COVID-19: Reopening the Workplace in Germany

Since mid-May, the restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 situation in Germany have been gradually relaxed. More and more employers re-open their offices and employees return from their home office to work at the employer’s premises. At the same time travel restrictions within Europe are gradually lifted and business travel will become possible again. These steps can be a challenge for employers who also need to safeguard the employees’ health and safety while being on work and prevent a spread of the virus at the workplace. In our webinar we will provide you with an overview over the new occupational health and safety standards from the Federal Department of Labor, EU-OSHA, the lifting of the German travel restrictions to be observed when returning to work, but also with aspects to be considered for employers who decide to expand the possibility to work from home in the future. Finally, we will also update you on the recent developments on governmental support related to your workforce.

This course is designed primarily for attorneys, human resources professionals, and executives, including in-house counsel, general counsel, and board members. We certify attendance for submission to bar associations or employers.
