Overview

In a constantly changing, knowledge-based and conflict-prone national and global economy, managing employer-employee relations is critical on many levels. Getting the best out of human capital is equally critical to value creation and winning against competition. Society is becoming more conscious of legal rights while regulations and legal tripwires are steadily exploding. Employment relations framework in Nigeria has become legal rights-based and more litigious with the enhancement of the National Industrial Court’s jurisdiction, therefore, employers today are faced with intricate labour and employment concerns that require knowledgeable guidance. Understanding the legal issues affecting your workplace has become a critical success factor in determining the health of your organisation. All managers, not just HR managers need to be acquainted with employment law and relations practice. Lawyers involved in the employment relationship also require continuous education to keep updated on changing norms, laws and advanced practical legal strategies, including the developing jurisprudence of the National Industrial Court with its tilt towards upholding global best practices.

This seminar is designed purposely to equip participants with advanced practical and practitioner-focused capabilities to strategically navigate the law and management interphase and to familiarise them with basic practice and procedures of industrial relations and the National Industrial Court.
