Employment Law Training for your employees

We specialise in delivering employment law training that equips your teams with the knowledge and skills to navigate complex workplace challenges with confidence. Our training is interactive, engaging, and focussed on real-life scenarios (and often peppered with a few of our employment law war stories!). We provide insight to employment law in action, ensuring that your people are well-prepared to handle key legal issues whilst fostering a positive work environment.

Training can cover updates in the law such as the law on sexual harassment or to enhance your employee’s skills and knowledge, such as our training for employee representatives and managers. We can create bespoke training based on your requirements and can provide training in person or on-line. Here are some of our most popular courses:

1. The employer’s Duty to Prevent Sexual Harassment-training for employees

Harassment in the workplace is rarely out of the press these days. This has led to an increased focus on employers, and a new legal duty, to take positive steps to prevent sexual harassment. The new law is contained in the Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Act 2023 which comes into force on 26 October 2024.

Our full-day training course guides your team through practical strategies to minimise the risk of harassment claims. The training covers the ‘all reasonable steps’ defence, helping you understand how to protect your business by creating a safe, inclusive work culture. This training is essential for any employer aiming to stay compliant with the new legal duty and safeguard their workplace from potential legal claims.

For businesses with HR internal support we also offer an abbreviated version of this course for HR professionals or directors.

2. Equality, diversity and the law- leadership development training for managers

Discrimination-related complaints can be complex and sensitive to manage. Our Equalities training for managers provides in-depth guidance to enhance their understanding of the legal framework. Our training course is hands-on and encourages discussion, helping managers know how to identify and address discriminatory behaviour, handle sensitive grievances professionally, and reduce the risk of costly discrimination claims. Managers will gain confidence in navigating these challenging situations and develop their ability to ensure fairness and legal compliance and enhance their management skills.

3. Employee Representative Training- the rights, responsibilities and approach of effective employee reps

Effective communication during consultations is critical. Our training for employee representatives offers a comprehensive understanding of the law governing the appointment of reps, their rights and the role. We empower representatives to confidently fulfil their role with enhanced communication skills and legal knowledge. This course helps build trust and foster collaboration between management and staff, leading to more productive and harmonious workplace relations during consultations whether under TUPE, TULCRA or otherwise.
