Our next HR Academy is taking place on 9 & 10 October 2017

The course runs for two days and is designed to provide an in-depth look at the key employment law topics that you may come across as a busy HR professional, including the latest developments and forthcoming changes. 

But we won’t just be talking at you about the law. The emphasis is on the practical application of these topics in your daily work. We’ll use case studies with lots of interaction and discussion throughout the day.

Key features of the course:

  • Presented by employment specialists from our market-leading team

  • Real-life practical examples and filmed case studies

  • Group exercises and discussions

  • An opportunity to meet and discuss your issues with lawyers from our team

  • Comprehensive training materials to take away, plus additional employment law guides

  • Take-home online quiz to consolidate your learning

  • Lewis Silkin HR Academy certificate provided on successful completion of the course
