Our Employment, Industrial Relations and Safety team is pleased to offer our program of employment, industrial relations and safety training in 2024.
Our practical and interactive workplace training programs offer human resources professionals, general counsel and managers access to highly skilled lawyers and facilitators, and provide an unrivalled opportunity for skills development.
We are running four online sessions over the course of 2024. The online, interactive sessions will be presented via a live stream by HSF’s experienced lawyers and trainers.
Each session will be run twice in 2024, initially in the first half of the year and repeated in the second half of the year. Our programs have been run online since 2020, to great success. The feedback from participants was extremely positive, and enabled our programs to be made available more widely than ever, especially to clients who are working remotely. You can read the client feedback here.
