Open Courses
We offer a range of open training sessi
ons, usually for half a day, with recent topics including managing absence, better performance management and a mock employment tribunal. One of the key benefits of these training sessions is the mix of delegates from varying organisations giving individuals the opportunity to share experiences and ideas.
Webinars
We offer regular, practical webinars covering the key
issues affecting employers today. Our sessions provide clear, commercially focused guidance on the latest case law, legislative changes and emerging workplace trends. Led by experienced employment law specialists, each webinar focuses on translating complex legal developments into practical steps that can be applied confidently in the workplace.
Whether you are looking to strengthen compliance, reduce risk or develop management capability, our webinars provide timely, expert insight to help you stay informed, confident and ahead of the curve.
In-house Training
Why should you consider in-house training for your organisation?
- Is your organisation specialised, with its own particular employment law issues?
- Do you have lots of staff you’d like to attend a particular course?
- Do you have a need to train your managers on key issues such as Performance Management, Handling Menopause in the Workplace or how to run Disciplinaries and Grievances?
If the answer to any of these questions is “yes”, in-house training could be the solution. Sherrards can run a course tailored to the issues your organisation faces and deliver it either online for up to 30 attendees or face to face.
All of our courses are suitable for learners of all
levels and all our trainers are practicing employment law solicitors, providing you and your team with training that reflects knowledge gained at the coalface!
