Client-Tailored Workplace Learning

We focus on coaching participants by sharing our knowledge and experience of legal issues. We aim to build confidence through developing understanding and skills.

Understanding and applying employment law

We recognise that clients' legal and business needs extend beyond advice and representation. Modern organisations are increasingly focused on upskilling their people to recognise and respond to potential legal issues. Our Client-Tailored Workplace Learning options help you to:

• Generate an understanding of legal issues among your staff to help with early identification of issues
• Motivate and retain staff by investing in their personal development
• Reduce business risk; and
• Comply with statutory and regulatory requirements

Client-Tailored Workplace Learning options

Our Learning Options can be tailored to suit your organisation's policies, learning purpose, budget, and time constraints. Our Client-Tailored Workplace Learning options include:

Workplace training – interactive and experiential sessions based on adult learning principles. Our workplace training programs are ideal for:

• learning or updating skills eg how to conduct a workplace or safety investigation
• challenging and changing perceptions eg about appropriate workplace behaviours
• any time frame, from two hours for Workplace Behaviours to two days for multi topic sessions; and
• up to 20 participants, to maximise the benefit of the interactive nature of the programs.

Round table discussions – interactive and discussion-based sessions. Our facilitated round table discussions are ideal for:

• learning about changes to the law and regulatory requirements eg managers' liability and due diligence under WHS laws
• briefing senior management teams and boards in an efficient and interactive way; and
• up to 10 participants, to maximise the dialogue between our experts and your people.

Seminars – detailed presentations. Our seminars are ideal for:

• briefing large numbers of people at the same time
• updating staff on changes to the law or reminding them of their obligations
• time-constrained staff; and
• as many people as your venue can hold. 

Learning option topics

Our Client-Tailored Workplace Learning options can be tailored to your policies and any aspect of employment law, including industrial relations, workplace health and safety and anti-discrimination law. Some program examples include:

We can also work with you in advance of any training to conduct a gap analysis and review your policies and procedures.
