Essentials of Employment Law - Rights & Obligations
Duration: 1-2 days, depending on content choices.
This comprehensive course is designed to introduce participants to the breadth of UK employment law topics. No prior knowledge of employment law is necessary.
​​
Only with knowledge of key legislation can HR teams and managers navigate workplace issues without having them escalate to often easily avoidable Employment Tribunal litigation and the resulting drain on morale, time and finances.
The delivery of the workshop/s can be tailored to reflect the content of an organisation's own terms and conditions, if required.
​
The standard syllabus is set out below but modules can be added/deleted to suit requirements. If you require more in-depth training on a single or multiple areas then this can be designed.
Please contact us to discuss your training specifications. ​​
