In - Company Workshops
- To promote good employment practices and prevent workplace disputes, we run a series of in-house workshops led by our experienced Principal Consultant. These sessions aim to raise awareness of relevant laws and encourage the development of positive practices. The topics covered draw on Industrial Relations Solutions Ltd's extensive experience in handling employment issues through our advisory and support services.
The following workshops, which are designed to meet client needs, focus on requirements of The Employment Rights Act 2012 and other Labour laws:
Understanding and application of Barbados Employment Legislation in Corporate Decisions
This workshop is designed for Corporate and Executive Leadership, offering guidance on the dos and don’ts of labour legislation. It provides tools to improve decision-making on employee matters within the organisation and helps avoid mistakes that could result in costly litigation or harm to the company’s reputation.
Disciplinary Hearings
The workshop aims to help participants identify, understand, and apply the principles for conducting successful disciplinary hearings, as well as appreciate how employment law influences the process of the hearing itself.
Unfair Dismissal - the Law and Practice
Employees have the right to claim unfair dismissal, but do you know who qualifies and who doesn’t? Are you familiar with the statutory procedures and best practices for handling dismissal situations? Do you understand the remedies available for unfair dismissal? This workshop offers managers clear guidance and practical tips.
Dealing with discipline and Grievances
Do you have the knowledge, skill and confidence to deal with discipline and grievance issues? This workshop highlights good practice in dealing with grievances and discipline.
Conducting Performance Appraisals
Employees let go for poor performance who later claim unfair dismissal often say in their applications that they were given little to no warning about the supposed issues with their work while employed.
The workshop emphasizes the importance of appraisals and reminds managers that employees with poor performance results should be given a fair opportunity to improve.
Managing Absence from Work
Managers need to be realistic—it's unreasonable to expect zero absences during the year. However, they can set clear guidelines for their team about acceptable absence behavior. This workshop helps managers find the right balance between supporting genuine absences and promoting full attendance from everyone. It also builds their awareness of practical tools and strategies to handle absences more effectively in the workplace.
