LIIBA WEBINAR – Key people issues for insurance brokers in 2021: COVID-19 Vaccines and Restrictive Covenants in the Remote Workplace – Tuesday 23^rd February 2021, 9.15-10.45am

On Tuesday 23^rd February 2021, we present a webinar hosted by law firm Morgan Lewis.  It will outline potential challenges and best practices for employers in the insurance sector seeking to manage the disruption caused to their businesses by the global pandemic and the advent of remote working. The panel will consider legal issues and best practices surrounding the COVID-19 vaccine and the extent to which employers can make the vaccine mandatory. The panel will also consider the Government’s current consultation on the possibility of prohibiting non-competition clauses or requiring the payment of mandatory compensation.

Topics will include:

• How far employers can and should go to mandate the COVID-19 vaccine for UK employees.
• Practical steps that can be taken to incentivise workers to be vaccinated.
• Key pitfalls regarding vaccines and data protection in the workforce.
• Protecting confidential information and trade secrets in the era of more flexible working.
• The impact of increased global (virtual) mobility on restrictive covenants.
• The impact of remote working on policing, enforcing and drafting restrictive covenants.
• How the changing workplace culture may impact employee behaviour and competition.
• Regulatory implications when dealing with team moves and practical tips for employers.
• The Government’s consultation on prohibiting non-competition clauses or requiring the payment of mandatory compensation. What would be the impact on insurance intermediaries? Would this stimulate greater innovation and competition or would it leave insurance brokers without adequate protection? Are there any lessons from employers in California that insurance brokers here in the UK can follow?

As the webinar last month centred around Lloyd’s and the work being undertaken by the Future at Lloyd’s claims programme and their CAT reporting system, this session will concentrate on other projects, initiatives and ‘business as usual’ work affecting the broker claims community – although we will of course provide any updates on the Lloyd’s claim projects.

The Chairs of our Claims Operations Liaison Group (COLG) and Delegated Authority Claims Committee (DACC) will be providing attendees with detail around the work being undertaken by these groups on behalf of the broking community and what their 2021 priorities are. We will also have a cross market panel on hand to answer any queries posed.

We encourage those working within the claims areas of member firms to register for this event, so please feel free to pass the invite through to any colleagues you feel may benefit from attending.
