Why should you consider Online 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 or how to run Disciplinaries and Grievances?
If the answer to any of these questions is “yes”, online in-house training could be the solution. Sherrards can run a course tailored to the issues your organisation faces and deliver it via a webinar on the Zoom platform for up to 30 attendees at one session.
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! Courses we currently offer include:

Employment Law Essentials 
As lockdown measures continue to ease, and the country returns to work you may find that some of your HR team or line managers are in need of some practical training to remind them how best to handle HR/employee issues they may face in our current and ever changing work environment. As a response to requests from clients who have asked for such training we have designed a new, updated course in two parts called “Employment Law Essentials”.
This new course covers all the essentials of employment law including;
Part 1

Handling grievances
Variation of contractual terms
Redundancy and Restructuring
The online training course will be delivered in two parts on separate dates (to suit your requirements) with each session running for 2 hours on Zoom or a similar platform. Within this time there will be one short 15 minute coffee break half way through the session. There will be ample time during the webinar for questions and answer. The delegates will also be able to ask questions in the chat function of the webinar and these will be covered as the session progresses.
