Managers are often responsible for handling sensitive employment issues before HR or legal advisers become involved. Practical training can help them recognise potential risks, follow the organisation’s procedures and approach difficult conversations with greater confidence.

DTM Legal provides bespoke Employment & HR training for employers, senior leaders, managers and HR professionals. Our courses are tailored to your organisation, its workforce, policies and procedures, helping ensure that the training is directly relevant to the situations your team is likely to encounter.

Training can be delivered face-to-face or online and combines employment law knowledge with practical examples, discussion and case studies. Sessions can focus on a particular workplace issue or form part of a wider programme designed to develop the employment law and people-management skills of your team.

Why Instruct DTM Legal?

Our training is delivered by Employment & HR solicitors who advise employers on these issues in practice. This allows us to combine the legal principles managers need to understand with practical guidance on how workplace situations should be handled day to day.

We tailor sessions to your organisation rather than relying on a standard presentation. Where appropriate, we can incorporate your existing contracts, policies and procedures so that managers understand both the legal framework and how your own internal processes should be applied.

Training can also form part of a wider review of your Employment & HR arrangements. For example, where new policies or procedures are introduced, training managers on how to use them can help ensure that updated documentation translates into more consistent workplace practice.

We provide:

  • Training delivered by experienced Employment & HR solicitors
  • Courses tailored to your organisation and workforce
  • Practical examples and interactive case studies
  • Face-to-face and online delivery
  • Training for senior leaders, managers and HR professionals
  • Sessions focused on individual topics or wider training programmes
  • Content aligned with your existing policies and procedures

Frequently Asked Questions

Commonly asked questions from employers considering Employment & HR training for their teams.

Training can be provided for HR professionals, senior leaders, middle managers and line managers with responsibility for managing employees. The existing DTM Legal programme is particularly aimed at senior management, middle management and HR officers.

The content can be adjusted to reflect the participants’ level of experience. This allows employers to provide introductory training for new managers or more detailed sessions for those regularly handling complex employee relations matters.

Yes. DTM Legal’s training is designed to be tailored to the organisation’s culture, policies and procedures rather than delivered as a generic employment law seminar.

Incorporating your own documentation can make the training more relevant because managers can explore how the organisation expects real workplace situations to be handled.

Yes. DTM Legal currently offers both face-to-face and online Employment & HR training, allowing the format to be adapted to the organisation and location of those attending.

For organisations with teams across several sites, online delivery can also provide a practical way to ensure managers receive consistent training.

 

Training is particularly valuable when someone first takes on management responsibilities, when policies or procedures are introduced or updated, or where recurring workplace issues suggest that managers need additional support.

Employers may also benefit from periodic employment law update sessions so that managers understand changes that affect how they recruit, manage and make decisions about employees.

Managers often deal with employee concerns, absence, performance and workplace complaints before HR becomes formally involved. Their early decisions and communications can therefore have an important impact on how effectively an issue is resolved.

Training helps managers recognise when they can deal with a matter themselves, when they should involve HR and when specialist legal advice may be needed. It can also help ensure that policies are applied more consistently across the organisation.

Tom Evans provided an excellent service regarding my recent Voluntary Redundancy. Tom was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful in supporting the processing of the legal documentation around redundancy. Tom was very timely and managed our sessions well to ensure we didn’t overrun. I would highly recommend Tom and use him again if I needed legal support.

DTM’s employment department has dealt with a couple of matters on our behalf. They have dealt with all matters efficiently, providing clear advice on employment law, whilst also understanding the commercial aspects of suggested actions.
