The Sherrards Academy is our learning and development platform which
incorporates our full range of training courses to deliver employment
law/HR related courses to line managers and HR professionals.
There are three categories of training and development opportunities on offer:
The Sherrards Academy
Designed for people managers and HR professionals looking to deepen
their understanding of the key aspects of UK employment law, the Academy
is delivered in bite-sized units over a four-week period and is
designed to fit in with the day to day demands of working in HR/people
management. The Sherrards Academy blends direct contact with an
experienced, specialist employment law solicitor with accompanying
learning content which can be accessed flexibly, 24/7 via our learning
platform. Successful completion of the Academy and its assignments
results in the award of a certificate.
Open Courses
We offer a range of open training sessions, 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 regularly run live webinars via Zoom on topical subjects. Recent
webinars have covered topics such as Menopause in the Workplace, without
prejudice conversations and settlement agreements and handling subject
access requests from employees.
