Bookings are open for Moonstone Compliance’s employment law webinar in June on the practical considerations regarding restraint of trade agreements.
The webinar will be presented by Andrea de Jongh, Moonstone Compliance’s privacy governance and employment law specialist.
It takes place on Wednesday, 12 June, from 10am to 12.30pm on Microsoft Teams.
Business and the world of work are becoming increasingly competitive. To prevent unlawful competition, it is of the utmost importance that companies protect their proprietary interests and innovative processes that are not part of the public domain. A company’s client base is the beating heart of any business. It would be detrimental to a company if its unique relationships with its clients/customers, potential clients/customers, suppliers, and trade connections, as well as its trade secrets, models, or strategies, were made known to third parties or utilised as a springboard to grow a competing business.
Understanding the relevance and importance of restraint of trade agreements and confidentiality agreements is a non-negotiable to ensure a company is protected against third parties who are trading in the same market and/or offering the same type of service and products to its clients.
The webinar will equip you with the knowledge and skills to utilise restraint of trade and confidentiality agreements to your competitive advantage. You will be provided with tools that will enable you to identify and approach individuals with the necessary restrictive covenants in your favour, ensuring the enforceability of your protectable interests, and ascertain how and if you should enter a new employment relationship where an applicant has an enforceable restraint of trade agreement in place.
At the end of the webinar, human resources representatives and line managers will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to:
- proactively identify and investigate the relevant factors to consider as part of the contracting process;
- manage the utilisation of restrictive covenants; and
- understand the relevant principles and factors in determining the enforceability of a restraint of trade agreement.
A recruitment team, team leaders, and middle managers will benefit from attending this webinar.
Moonstone Compliance clients pay R495 per person (excluding VAT), while the fee for other attendees is R575 per person (excluding VAT).
Registration closes on 6 June, and payment must be received by the following day.
You will earn 2 CPD hours by attending the webinar.
