As companies up and down the country now encounter budget cuts for face-to-face training schemes for their HR staff, learnHR is offering a flexible, cost effective and convenient solution.
learnHR, the UK’s leading online HR training provider, today announced the launch of two new online courses, Employment Law in Practice and Health and Safety for Managers, both covering topics that are particularly pertinent in the current economic climate.
The Employment Law in Practice course teaches HR and line managers how to avoid the pitfalls of the recruitment process and how to handle redundancies, dismissals and restructuring.
The Health and Safety course offers all managers an essential overview of the breadth of legislation involved in corporate health and safety, as well as teaching the skills to manage stress and introduce wellbeing initiatives in the workplace.
Both courses feature entertaining videos showing the antics of Liability Ltd, which demonstrate how not to conduct recruitment interviews, appraisal meetings and dismissals as well as highlighting the consequences of failing to meet the requirements of the Corporate Manslaughter and Homicide Act.
Christine Tebbutt, education director of learnHR, said: “It is not surprising that companies are cutting down on training for their HR staff. But in order to prepare for the challenges ahead in 2009, it is essential that all managers now build on their knowledge and continue to develop professionally. Our online courses offer a flexible, cost-effective and time-saving alternative to achieve this, equipping any manager with the essential knowledge to get them through the minefield of employment and health & safety law.”
