Sorainen’s employment team invite to a free webinar on 4 October to discuss the following practical issues:

✅ Does the employer have to fulfil requests to work remotely?

✅ Do employers have the right to set their own rules regarding flexible working conditions?

✅ What should be included in the violence and harassment prevention policy?

✅ Is it always necessary to conduct an investigation after receiving a complaint about psychological violence or mobbing?

✅ What is not mobbing? How should employees deal with abusive situations?

✅ What rights does a person accused of violence have?

The webinar will be held in Lithuanian.

For five years in a row, Kaunas Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Crafts, together with the Exporters Club and Enterprise Europe Network, has been organising the conference EXPORT CODE. The conference is intended for company managers, export and marketing managers, executives and anyone interested in exporting.

As every year, you will hear from several practitioner speakers. Exporting companies will share their experiences, talk about their work in recent years, when they have to constantly reflect: "to go or to stop". How have you managed to adapt to the ever-changing circumstances? What solutions have helped to keep companies stable or even opened up new niches and export markets?
