HR Training
Employment Law Training for Managers
Managers’ understanding of employment law is crucial to ensuring compliance and mitigating legal risks. It empowers them to make informed decisions, fosters a fair and respectful work environment, and protects the organisation from potential legal liabilities and costly disputes.
Our Employment Law Essentials training course provides a critical overview of the key areas of people management and relevant legal considerations, helping managers prevent common workplace issues and address them in line with the law.
Who should attend?
This course will be useful to new managers or those who need to refresh their knowledge, as well as anyone involved in managing people, including those with HR responsibilities.
Who will deliver the training?
Our management training is delivered by highly-experienced and qualified HR practitioners with genuine ‘hands-on’ practical experience of supporting employers all over the UK with their HR requirements.
What are the benefits?
Delegates will gain a comprehensive understanding of the legal framework underpinning the employment lifecycle. They will increase their confidence in applying common people management processes in line with relevant legislation and will learn how to recognise and prevent common pitfalls.
By enrolling managers in this course, organisations will benefit from a more consistent approach to people management and a deeper understanding of legal requirements. This will better equip organisations to protect themselves from disputes and Employment Tribunal claims.
