Why should an employer provide employment law and HR training to its managers?
Managing people within the law ensures that a business operates efficiently, while creating an appropriate workplace culture. The cost of disruption caused by absence, poor conduct and under-performance are significant, both in terms of productivity and the impact on colleagues, affecting morale and staff retention. Tackling these problems requires an understanding of how to work within the framework provided by the law to minimise the risk of expensive Employment Tribunal claims.
Additionally, employers are expected to take steps to ensure that their workplace is free of discrimination and harassment, which includes providing suitable training and refreshing that training at appropriate intervals.
Will your training be too legalistic and lack the understanding needed to apply the legal principles effectively in the workplace?
No. We have a long track record of delivering training and feedback consistently comments on our ability to provide practical and relevant guidance in easy-to-understand language. We train delegates ranging from supervisors and team leaders working on the factory floor through to senior executives, Directors and HR professionals, tailoring our approach to the topics being covered and the delegates attending.
Do your training courses encourage participation?
Yes. We encourage delegates to ask questions throughout the workshop so that relevant issues can be discussed at the time we are dealing with subjects. Additionally, our workshops usually use case studies to encourage discussion of the topics we are featuring, which feedback has shown delegates find both useful and interesting.
