Webinar: Managing a workplace in times of pandemic – an East African employment law perspective

25 June 2020

Employers across the globe are grappling with a new world of work. What does this mean for employers in East Africa?

Members of our regional Employment and Benefits team had a virtual discussion on managing the workplace in times of COVID-19. Topics included facilitating a safe return to work (in jurisdictions where applicable) and privacy or data protection issues that may arise.

Our South African colleagues joined us to share a South African perspective on some of the issues.

The panel discussion was facilitated by Chris Todd, our Head of Dispute Resolution. Panel members included:

  • Rainbow Field and Ariana Issaias, Bowmans Kenya
  • Ernest Wiltshire, Bowmans Uganda
  • Wilbert Kapinga, Bowmans Tanzania
  • Lusanda Raphulu and Nadine Mather, Bowmans South Africa
  • Ermias Ayalew Chernet, Bowmans’ alliance firm in Ethiopia, AAALO
