Workshop on Industrial Relations and Labour Management.

Why Attend

Industrial relations and management practice has become one of the most delicate and complex problems of modern industrial societies. Industrial progress is impossible without cooperation of governments, employers and their employees forging harmonious relationships in order to deliver good services to their citizens. The practice of modern industrial relations in Africa today has become more sophisticated as a result of the multifaceted nature and complexity of the workplace and emergence of new forms of employment contract. This means practitioners must move away from the “adversary” labour relations model to the social dialogue model advocated by the ILO and other experts. Therefore, it is in the interest of all to create and maintain good relations between the employer and her employees.

For whom:

HR Managers, Labour Union Officers, and Senior Managers in HR functions.

Also, Employee Relations Officers and Executives, Human Resources Personnel and Executives, Administrative Officers and Executives, Trade Union Officers will find this course very useful.
