Employment tribunals cost UK businesses millions each year. Most claims happen because managers didn’t know the law, HR teams followed outdated advice, or businesses weren’t aware of recent changes. Your competitors are facing the same challenges: keeping up with legislation, managing difficult staff situations, and avoiding costly mistakes.
Human resource management training isn’t a nice-to-have anymore, it’s essential risk management. The Employment Rights Act 2025 is bringing massive changes. Tribunal claims are at record levels. Employment law gets more complex every year. Your managers need to know how to conduct disciplinary hearings properly, handle flexible working requests correctly, and manage sickness absence without discrimination claims.
We’ve been training businesses for years, and we know what works. Not death by PowerPoint. Not generic courses that don’t fit your industry. Practical, interactive training delivered by employment law solicitors who defend tribunal claims and know exactly where businesses go wrong.
Our human resource training courses cover everything from recruitment and contracts through to dismissals and tribunal defence. We can deliver training at your premises, at our Cardiff or Bangor offices, or online. You’ll work with solicitors who advise businesses daily on the exact issues we’re training on.
And here’s what makes us different: we’re Wales’ only commercial law firm offering full Welsh language human resource management training. For Welsh businesses, public sector organisations, or anyone needing bilingual training, we deliver expert employment law training in both English and Welsh.

Your managers make daily decisions that affect employment law. Hiring, managing performance, handling absence, dealing with grievances. Get these wrong and you’re looking at tribunal claims. This training in human resource management covers the fundamentals every line manager or needs: contracts basics, discrimination law, disciplinary procedures, and when to escalate to HR.
Discrimination claims often start at recruitment. Job adverts that breach equality law. Interview questions that are unlawful. Selection decisions that can’t be justified. This human resource training course teaches your team how to recruit legally, write compliant job descriptions, conduct lawful interviews, and make defensible selection decisions. Practical exercises using real scenarios.
Most tribunal claims involve poorly handled disciplinaries or grievances. This human resource management training course covers the entire process: investigation techniques, conducting hearings, making fair decisions, writing outcome letters, and handling appeals. We use case studies from actual tribunals to show what goes wrong and how to get it right.
Managing sickness absence is a minefield. Disability discrimination. Medical evidence. Reasonable adjustments. Occupational health referrals. Capability dismissals. This training and development in human resource management course gives you a clear process for managing both short-term and long-term sickness, when to seek medical evidence, and how to dismiss fairly when necessary.
Poor performance needs handling carefully. Informal support, performance improvement plans, capability procedures, fair warnings, dismissals. This human resource training and development course teaches managers how to address underperformance early, document issues properly, give employees fair chances to improve, and when performance becomes a dismissal matter.
Redundancies trigger multiple legal requirements. Consultation obligations. Fair selection. Notice pay. Collective consultation for 20+ redundancies. This human resource management training and development workshop covers the legal framework, practical steps, common mistakes, and how to manage redundancies fairly while protecting your business from claims.
Discrimination claims are among the most expensive. This human resource development training course covers all protected characteristics, direct and indirect discrimination, harassment, victimisation, reasonable adjustments for disability, and positive action. Real case studies show where businesses go wrong and how to prevent discrimination claims.
The law around flexible working, maternity, paternity, shared parental leave, and parental leave has changed significantly. This training in human resource management course covers your legal obligations, handling requests correctly, reasons for refusal, and avoiding discrimination claims around pregnancy and family responsibilities.
Facing a tribunal claim? This training human resource management course prepares your team for the tribunal process. Responding to claims, gathering evidence, witness statements, case preparation, tribunal hearings, and settlement negotiations. Particularly useful for HR teams who handle claims in-house or want to understand the process.
Every business is different. We design bespoke human resource training programs tailored to your specific needs, industry challenges, and organisational culture. Maybe you need training on your specific policies. Or sector-specific issues (healthcare, retail, hospitality, manufacturing). Or training for directors on senior executive issues. We’ll build the training you actually need.
Our training isn’t delivered by professional trainers who used to be lawyers. It’s delivered by solicitors who advise businesses and defend tribunal claims every day. You’re learning from people who know exactly where businesses go wrong because they’re dealing with the consequences. That’s real expertise, not theoretical knowledge.
We use case studies from real tribunals, interactive exercises, group discussions, and practical scenarios. You’ll work through actual situations, practice difficult conversations, and leave with skills you can use immediately. No death by PowerPoint. No one sitting through hours of slides. Active learning that engages participants and creates lasting understanding.
We’re Wales’ leading commercial law firm offering a Welsh language human resource management training courses. All our training can be delivered in Welsh, bilingually, or in English. For Welsh public sector bodies, businesses subject to Welsh language standards, or organisations wanting to support Welsh-speaking managers, we provide expert training in both languages.
Generic courses teach generic solutions. We tailor every human resource training course to your business, your industry, your policies, and your specific challenges. We’ll review your procedures before training, incorporate your examples, and address your actual issues. You get training that’s immediately relevant and practically useful.
We deliver training at your premises, at our Cardiff or Bangor offices, or online via Teams or Zoom. Half-day workshops, full-day courses, or multi-session programmes. Large groups or small teams. Morning, afternoon, or evening sessions. We work around your business needs and operational requirements.
Training doesn’t end when the session finishes. Participants get materials to take away, access to template documents, and the ability to contact us with follow-up questions. Many clients combine training with ongoing advisory support, so when real issues arise, you’ve got solicitors who know your business and can help immediately.

We start by understanding what you need. What employment issues do you face? What knowledge gaps exist? Who needs training? What’s your budget? We’ll discuss your challenges, review your policies, and identify what training will deliver the most value for your business.
We design training that fits your needs. This might be a standard course with your examples added, or completely bespoke training built from scratch. We’ll recommend topics, duration, delivery method, and participant numbers based on what will work best for your organisation.
We deliver interactive, practical training. Case studies from real tribunals. Group exercises. Problem-solving scenarios. Q&A throughout. Opportunities to practice skills. Training that engages participants and creates real learning, not passive listening to presentations.
Participants receive comprehensive materials: training slides, detailed notes, template documents, checklists, and reference guides. Everything they need to apply what they’ve learned. Materials are professionally produced and immediately usable in your business.
After training, we’re available for follow-up questions and clarifications. Many businesses combine training with ongoing advisory support through retainer arrangements. When real employment issues arise, you’ve got human resource management training and development experts who know your business ready to help.

Solicitors who defend tribunal claims and advise on employment law daily know exactly where businesses go wrong because we’re dealing with the consequences. We see tribunal decisions, understand how employment judges interpret law, and know what tribunals expect. HR consultants provide valuable training, but solicitor-delivered training gives you legal expertise grounded in actual cases and tribunal experience.
Absolutely. We’re Wales’ only commercial law firm offering full Welsh language human resource management training. All our training can be delivered entirely in Welsh, bilingually (Welsh and English), or in English only. Materials can be provided in both languages. We’re experienced delivering training to Welsh public sector bodies and businesses subject to Welsh language standards.
Depends what you’re covering. HR Manager or line manager essentials needs a full day minimum to cover fundamentals properly. Specific topics like disciplinary procedures can be half-day workshops. Comprehensive programmes for HR teams might be 3-5 days spread over several months. We’ll recommend appropriate duration based on your content and participant needs.
Both. HR teams need deep expertise in employment law and procedures. But line managers make most employment decisions daily: managing performance, handling absence, conducting return-to-work meetings, having difficult conversations. They need solid grounding in employment law basics and when to escalate. Most businesses train their HR Business Partner as well as their managers on essentials.
Annual refresher training keeps knowledge current and covers legal changes. Employment law changes significantly each year through legislation and case law. The Employment Rights Act 2025 brings massive changes requiring training. Even without major reforms, annual updates ensure managers remember fundamentals and stay compliant.
Both work. In-person training allows better interaction, group exercises, and networking. Online HR courses and training via Teams or Zoom offer convenience, lower costs, and accessibility for dispersed teams. We deliver both formats effectively. Many businesses combine them: initial comprehensive training in person, then online updates quarterly or annually.
Comprehensive training materials including slides, detailed notes, template documents (disciplinary letters, investigation notes, absence management forms), checklists, flowcharts, and quick reference guides. Everything professionally produced and immediately usable. Materials provided electronically and in hard copy (for in-person training). Welsh language materials available.
Very. We use case studies, group exercises, scenario discussions, role-plays (where appropriate), and Q&A throughout. Training isn’t lecture-style. Participants actively engage, discuss real situations, and practice skills. Interactive learning creates better understanding and retention than passive listening.
Yes. We review your policies before training and incorporate your specific procedures, documents, and forms. You’ll see your actual disciplinary policy discussed, your templates reviewed, and your processes examined. This makes training immediately relevant and practically useful. Participants learn your procedures correctly, not generic approaches.
We design bespoke training on any employment law topic. TUPE transfers, post-employment restrictions, senior executive issues, settlement agreements, immigration compliance, pension auto-enrolment, data protection in employment, whistleblowing, stress and mental health, holiday pay calculations, working time regulations. Whatever your specific need, we’ll create appropriate training.
Yes. All training is CPD accredited for HR professionals and managers. We provide certificates of attendance stating hours completed and topics covered. Training meets CPD requirements for CIPD members, HR qualifications, and management development programmes.
Absolutely. Many businesses prefer annual training retainers covering regular sessions throughout the year. Maybe quarterly updates, annual manager training, new starter induction training, and ad hoc sessions on emerging issues. Retainer arrangements provide cost certainty, priority booking, and ongoing relationship ensuring training stays relevant to your evolving needs.
We deliver human resource training courses throughout Wales and across the UK. Training can be delivered at your premises, at our Cardiff or Bangor offices, or online via Teams or Zoom.
