General overview
Every supervisor faces situations in their work where at least a basic understanding of employment law is necessary. It is not just a question of avoiding legal mistakes. More importantly, having solid knowledge of the legal framework and boundaries often provides the freedom and confidence to choose the right course of action.
Target Audience
This seminar is designed for supervisors, HR professionals, and anyone looking to learn the basics of employment law. As the training covers a broad range of topics, it’s best suited for those who do not yet have extensive knowledge of employment legislation.
