At LabourNet we take great pride in the training services that we provide. Our vision is to be the market leaders in the Industrial Relations Training Arena . LabourNet provides effective, hands on and comprehensive training to assist managers to combat common staff related problems and to create a productive and harmonious working environment.

The Training Division was initially started up with the aim of improving our division policy on “Adding Value to our Client's Businesses through pro-active empowerment of staff”.

Training key personnel on how to deal with day to day labour issues which arise in the workplace we aim to eliminate common pitfalls which cause problems in the Disciplinary Process.

Training is conducted in a professional manner utilising only our senior consultants, comprehensive learner guides are given to each attendee, which can later be used as a reference guide. Role Plays, discussion forums and exercises form part of the training session, which allows for better understanding of the material covered during training.

Presentations are used during training to summarise the topics covered and the level of training is adapted to accommodate the level of the attendees in the course.

One of the key benefits of LabourNet training is that we customise our material to be in-line with the clients policies and procedures and where available case law and exercises relevant to the clients industry is added to simplify the learning experience for the attendees.

With LabourNet's strong background in Labour law, we have modelled many processes on “The LabourNet Way” principle, which takes years of experience and the codes of good practise prescribed by the Labour Department and bundles it into fool proof procedures. These procedures are then taught to the learners.

LabourNet has a unique position in the market place as the training can be provided on a national basis utilising LabourNet's branch infrastructure.

Training is conducted in two formats, they are:

The public courses are presented at at our various branches across the country. The public courses ensure that organisations with fewer than ten learners, that require training, can also benefit from the training programmes. The public training courses are presented to groups of 5 to 10 employees, this ensures individual attention. These public courses have the additional benefit of exposing the learner to various industries and the employment law challenges they face.

Public Courses are advertised on our website with costing and dates for each region. log on to http://www.labournet.com to view the events listed.

We offer all our training programmes at the clients premises or any other agreed venue. The training can be provided on a national basis and is usually presented when 8 or more employees require the same training. This saves the client travel, accommodation costs and expense allowances.

The in-house training is customised to suit the needs of the client in respect of the content and the duration of the course and is done in line with LabourNet's vision of affordability. The number of trainees are restricted to ensure a high degree of practice and participation.

Feedback reports can be submitted on request to assess the development and understanding of each delegate during the training.

Costing is variable on the number of delegates per session , and the number of sessions booked. LabourNet IR Retainer Clients Qualify for a discounted rate.
