As a manager you would be amazed at how much you do not know – but need to know – about your staff’s employment rights, and your own!
You may think that all this is covered by your HR Department, you should think again. Dealing with an increasingly ethnically, culturally and more rights-conscious workforce you really need to have at the very least the basics covered.
It is knowing that recruitment can be as fraught with difficulties as dismissal; appreciating the subtleties of contracts of employment and being able to handle changes to them; having up-to-date information on statutory rights to time-off in a wide range of instances; avoiding breaches in discrimination rules plus much more.
This 8 week written, distance learning course will literally ‘open your eyes’ to the labyrinth of your staff’s statutory rights, requirements and your obligations which can, and will, affect how you manage your people.
Managers and executives at all levels will find this course sharpens their HR knowledge and improves their decision-making as a result. This includes:
MODULE 1 THE RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION PROCESS
The Seven Stages of an Effective Recruitment Process*
HR Procedures
MODULE 2 EXAMINING TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT
MODULE 3 UNDERSTANDING ‘FAMILY FRIENDLY’ RIGHTS
MODULE 4 DISCRIMINATION LAW
MODULE 5 DISCIPLINE PROCEDURES
MODULE 6 UNDERSTANDING PAY AND BENEFITS
