3 Month Notice Period
The company I work for would like to implement a 3 month notice period imminently for all levels of manager's and accountants as well. Their thinking to this change is for a bit of a security blanket offering during a period of rapid growth and change for the organisation. The roles and geographical locations are specialist/hard to recruit for, so a longer notice period buy's them more time to find replacements.
I am looking for advice on the following:
- The pro's & cons to making this change? Any potential implications etc. or e.g. will employees mentally have disengaged at the start of the 3 months anyway.
- Should they be considering complications of access to company info and trade secrets during a longer notice period. Perhaps they should have a gardening leave clause in T&C's?
- What would be the stages of work I would need to carry out to make this happen for the organisation?
