HR and employment law training

HR and employment law

HR professionals are increasingly aware of the need to take a more strategic approach but are often held back by the inability of line managers to deal effectively with routine employment issues. At the same time, there is a constant stream of new legislation to deal with – this year alone we have age discrimination, new TUPE rules, a new Work and Families Bill and the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Bill. There was never a better time to step back and address your organisation’s training needs, to ensure that both your HR teams and your line managers are fully equipped to deal with their increasingly demanding roles. And there was never a better team of expert trainers to help you!
