Why do finance professionals need to be trained in Employment Law?
Managers are promoted for their technical skills but they also need experience in people management skills.
Managers are the employer’s representative – their lack of compliance will make the employer, and potentially themselves, liable in employment law.
Employment Law Training for Finance Managers will reduce the risks of costly mistakes. Costly mistakes means damages; wasted management time and affects an employer’s corporate reputation. Prevention is always better than a cure.
From a compliance perspective, employment law training to staff in the application of Equal Opportunities Policy/Harassment policies, assists an employer’s defence against a discrimination claim. Mandatory equal opportunities training ensures that the manager knows how to behave in the workplace.
Aside from compliance, employment law training is an excellent internal marketing opportunity.
The employer has the opportunity to communicate in a less formal atmosphere:
• Its values
• Its expectations
• The objective framework for performance and career growth
• Its strategy (both short and long term)
Employment Law Training also positively raises the profile of the employer’s HR team – employees will know:
• When
• Where
• To whom they need to go for assistance
Employees therefore have clarity and security that their employer genuinely abides by its policies and procedures.
It also makes for a happier working environment!
