Common Workplace Dilemmas Workshop - 6 to 22 September 2011

"There are dilemmas that every manager faces that sometimes just seem to defy sustainable solution.

This course looks at a few of the most common dilemmas, dealing with issues of transformation, discipline, leadership and performance management.

Combining labour law, HR and leadership insights, the course enables delegates to take a fresh look at these problems and to adopt a strategic rather than just procedural approach to their solution".

We have a panel of carefully selected trainers all of whom are legally qualified, have many years of experience as trainers and are often arbitrators/and or commissioners of the CCMA. Their extensive experience enables them to respond to ad hoc queries from delegates in a practical and empowering manner and is one of the factors which set us apart from the competition. Regular presenters include:

Prior to this he lectured at Vista University and worked in a distinguished labour law firm for five years.   He was also the legal training officer of a major trade union, conducting litigation and providing strategic advice in a number of significant matters.
