Event Two:  Protecting your options: Keep your team as freelancers or employing them full time?

An introductory session aimed at exploring the business options when addressing potential growth; whether to keep your team as freelancers or start employing them as full time staff. Such a decision is not only hard to say without losing sleep but  also has major financial and legal implications for your business.

Moving beyond all the recruitment agency gloss about recruiting full time staff, the business owner might need to weigh up their options before commencing down this dangerous road.

The event has been designed to allow delegates to share their fears and ask questions to experienced business practitioners as well as legal and financial expertise. The session will start with a small informal panel which will open up the discussion around pros and cons of this important business decision. This session will be followed by two parallel workshops covering important legal and financial decisions you may need to take.  The event will close with a small group of specialists who will provide you with some additional options and possible funding streams.

The event will seek to cover:

• Consider additional options: interments, graduate placements and/ or apprenticeships.
• Share your experience: being employed or freelancer
• Consider the legal implications of  keeping your team as freelancers or employees
• Consider the financial implications of keeping your team as freelancers or employees
• Explore the potential downside of employment – downsizing during the recession.
