Issue
Our client, a leading creator and distributor of entertainment products, services and technology whose global operations include activities in 67 countries, is a major employer of staff from diverse backgrounds and perspectives. Our client wanted to provide employment law training for its managers, giving them the skills and confidence to deal competently with employment and personnel issues as they arose. It was important that the managers understood best practice and became fully aware of the implications and impact of legislation on their roles in the company.
Our approach
The JSB team worked with the client and a sample of the target audience to develop the training event. Our approach included five stages; research and familiarisation, initial design, pre-work questionnaires, delivery, follow up and evaluation.
The training was designed to include:
- a seminar style over half a day
- a lively, interactive, engaging approach to sharing information
- maximised opportunity for questions and discussion
- a number of sessions each tackling a specific area of Employment Law
The programme was designed to enable participants to identify essential aspects of employment law, understand the practical implications of how the law is applied, and identify current best practice in employment law.
The outcome
The managers experienced a lively learning experience that stimulated discussion, reflection and action. They were able to develop, enrich and clarify their knowledge of employment law and best practice, with emphasis being placed on the implications of the law for all managers in their day to day work with staff. Through working on key issues identified in advance by them, the managers were able to take away practical actions to help them deal with real and current issues.
