Workplace Training and Development
Equipping your managers with the skills and confidence to handle the trickiest situations.
Our TrainingProgrammes
Your managers are dealing with real challenges every day. A team member who has just disclosed ADHD and is asking for adjustments. A long-term sickness absence where nobody is sure what the next step should be. A conversation about performance that has been put off for months. A complaint that needs handling properly before it escalates.
Our training programmes are designed and delivered by the same specialists who conduct our investigations, mediation, and advisory work. Every session is grounded in current practice, real case experience, and the employment law framework your managers need to understand.
Conducting workplace investigations for line managers
Your line managers will, at some point, need to investigate a complaint. Whether it is a grievance, a disciplinary matter, or a safeguarding concern, they need to know how to plan an investigation, gather evidence, conduct fair interviews, assess what they have found, and write a report that will withstand challenge. This practical, skills-based programme gives them the confidence and methodology to do it properly.
Sexual harassment prevention: meeting the enhanced legal duty (from October 2026)
The standard moves from “reasonable steps” to “all reasonable steps.” Your organisation needs to demonstrate proactive prevention, not just a policy and an annual training session. This programme covers the legal framework under the Worker Protection Act 2023 and ERA 2025, recognising and responding to harassment, building effective reporting cultures, bystander intervention, and what “all reasonable steps” actually looks like in practice.
Employment Rights Act 2025: what your managers need to know
The ERA 2025 introduces the biggest changes to UK employment law in a generation, with key provisions taking effect from early 2026 through to 2027. This workshop ensures your management team understands what is changing, when, and what it means for how they manage their people day to day.
Managing neurodivergent employees and reasonable adjustments
A growing number of employees are disclosing neurodivergent conditions including ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and dyspraxia, and many more are undiagnosed. Managers need to understand what neurodivergence means in practical terms, what the law requires under the Equality Act 2010, how to have supportive conversations about adjustments, and how to create working environments where neurodivergent employees can perform at their best.
This programme moves beyond awareness into practical management skills: understanding individual needs, implementing reasonable adjustments, adapting communication styles, and recognising when a condition may amount to a disability under the Act.
Managing sickness absence
Sickness absence is one of the most common management challenges, and one of the most legally sensitive. This programme gives managers a clear, practical framework for handling short-term absence triggers, long-term absence cases, return-to-work conversations, occupational health referrals, and the point at which absence management intersects with disability discrimination and reasonable adjustment obligations under the Equality Act 2010. It covers the practical steps, the legal requirements, and the difficult conversations that managers often delay because they are unsure of their ground.
Leadership development
Building the capability your managers need to handle difficult conversations, manage performance effectively, lead through change, and create inclusive team cultures. Designed around the real challenges your leaders face, not generic leadership theory.
EDI training
Practical equality, diversity, and inclusion training that moves beyond awareness-raising into genuine inclusive practice. Covering recruitment, management, team dynamics, and everyday decision-making.
Managing difficult conversations
The conversation your manager has been putting off for three months, whether it is about performance, conduct, attendance, or a relationship that has broken down, does not get easier with time. This programme gives managers a practical framework and the confidence to have those conversations well.
Bespoke programmes
If your organisation has a specific training need that does not fit neatly into the programmes above, we will design something that does. Our team’s combined expertise across employment law, investigation practice, mediation, and organisational development means we can build programmes that address exactly what you need.
How we deliver
We deliver training on-site at your premises, virtually, or as a hybrid of both. Programmes are available as half-day or full-day sessions, or as modular programmes spread across several weeks for deeper learning. We work with individual teams or deliver organisation-wide rollouts depending on your needs.
