One key lesson many clients will have learnt over the last few weeks is that your team is not only a great asset to your business but can also be a liability.

Secondly, furloughing has been great but if the government hadn’t announced this what would you have done? Do you have a clause in your employment contract to reduce hours or lay staff off? Does your contract have restrictions on what your employees can do if they leave your employment such as approaching your customers, staff and suppliers?
