Business Legal Services

HR and employment law training for employers

Help your business identify, manage, resolve and prevent employment related issues in the workplace and stay up-to-date on the ever-changing UK employment laws.

Maintaining a strong working knowledge of UK employment law practices and understanding your legal responsibilities as an employer and the impact of any legislative changes is vital to ensure your people are fully supported and that you stay compliant. Training can also help avoid potential complaints and form part of a defence to legal claims.

Benefits of HR and employment law training

Providing regular management and HR training for business owners, directors, managers and HR professionals, whether as a refresher or to upskill, comes with a number of benefits as it can help to:

Obtain a clear understanding of the latest employment law developments and any changes you may need to make to your existing or new policies and processes to ensure compliance.

Develop best practice and ensure consistency across your business, which can increase how attractive you are as an employer and also reduce the risk of potential future claims, and in some cases, training can form part of a legal defence.

Avoid costly and time-consuming employment tribunals, which can lead not only to financial but also reputational damage for your business.

Promote an improved working environment and ensure your talent is retained.

Upskill your managers so they can support your people and help resolve any workplace grievances and disputes effectively.

Testimonials

What our clients say

In my experience, solicitors speak a completely different language than anybody else, which can be confusing – especially if the matter at hand is a stressful topic. Simon and the team’s advice has been invaluable. They are solution-driven and didn’t quote the law at us but took the time to deliver advice clearly and concisely, making the legal position easy to understand.
