Manage episode 430850287 series 3085380
In our latest episode of The Lawdown, Partner Beth Hale, Senior Associate Wonu Sanda and Associate Kia Aoki discuss the following:
- The departures of Gareth Southgate as manager of the England men’s national football team, Vaughan Gething as Welsh first minister and President Joe Biden dropping out of the US presidential race. We explore how to determine the right time to leave a role. We discuss key considerations, including reputational issues, bonuses and post-termination restrictive covenants.
- BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing is in the headlines after allegations of abusive behaviour towards two of its previous contestants, Amanda Abbington and Zara McDermott. We discuss how the allegations came to light, the role of bystander reporting in investigations and how employees and employers should respond to allegations of misconduct in the workplace.
- An Apple employee has been found to have been unfairly dismissed after he shared photos of a female colleague in a WhatsApp group. We consider the increasing openness of employers to engage in tribunal litigation in favour of settling, particularly in cases of sexual misconduct. We also discuss the importance for employers of updating their policies to account for new forms of technology and communication platforms.
