As Employment Law Specialists for Employers, we have developed numerous training sessions to help Employers meet their obligations. These may be for management to understand their obligations with performance management, employee entitlements, termination of employment, or they could be to train all staff in relation to workplace bullying, discrimination and sexual harassment.
Where there is an industry focus, we are able to tailor a training session to incorporate any industry specific legislation and cases.
Employment law continuously changes, and employers must keep informed and ensure their management team is also informed.
By hosting a series of Employment Law seminars, you are helping your management team to meet workplace obligations and minimise legal risk to the business, as well as to them personally.
It is also very important that employees are provided with training and refresher training in relation to workplace policies. The provision of this training becomes very important where an employer wants to rely upon a particular policy when disciplining or terminating an employee’s employment. Our lawyers can provide that training to your employees for you.
We also work with business that refer clients to us. If you are one of our referrer, or a potential referrer, by hosting a series of Employment Law seminars you are providing additional value to your clients at no additional cost to them.
