The issue: Company X is a medium sized business that has transformed in recent years from a single private and family company into a publicly listed company which is part of a much larger corporate group. The expectations of staff had changed, especially with respect to compliance. HR data made it clear that many managers had limited if any knowledge of the laws which apply in the workplace and this represented a significant risk to the Compan

How we helped: We worked closely with the Human Resources Manager (“HRM”) to design a customised seminar workshop that addressed both the identified issues as well as those which the Company X not know it needed to know about. This was called “The Law at Work – how to get the most out of your employees and keep the law on your side”. A top priority of the HRM was the need to have the seminar workshop run over one day only. Other providers provided the same information over two days and the HRM knew that anything this long would not interest the managers. We met the terms of the Company’s brief, providing a highly interactive and dynamic workshop in one day.

Comment: The HRM’s efforts were rewarded with energised managers. She told us that she was “basking in the glory” generated by the buzz from the seminar workshop we provided.

Feedback from the participants included the following:

• “It opened my eyes to the rights and responsibilities of employers and employees”.
• “Excellent training for managers and their responsibilities”.
• “Raised awareness of important workplace issues”.
• “Learnt a lot about terminations and injured employees – very topical”.
