Through real case scenarios, you will learn to draft compliant contracts and policies, handle discipline and grievances fairly, manage terminations and redundancies lawfully, and know when to escalate to legal counsel.
Who is this for? HR officers and managers, business owners, line managers, administrators and compliance officers responsible for employee relations in Ghana.
