Qualified and motivated employees form the basis of a company's success. That is why companies should respond as flexibly as possible to employees' ideas. In this course, flexible work structures are developed that incorporate the latest trends as well as current new regulations and legislative projects relating to human resources work. At the same time, you will deepen and broaden your knowledge of individual and collective employment law, because sound knowledge of employment law is the foundation for professional, future-oriented HR work.

Using case studies, you will learn to identify labor law issues in your day-to-day work at an early stage and independently develop solutions that will withstand labor court scrutiny as well as take into account the needs of employees.

• Recognize individual and collective labor law challenges within the organization.

Three questions for your lecturer, attorney Anita Bennink:

Why is continuing education in labor law currently of interest to many professionals?
Labor law issues in companies are becoming increasingly complex and are gaining in importance due to demographic change. Companies, their human resources managers and works and staff councils must react to this in order to be able to offer employees interesting and flexible working conditions. In the future, this will become an increasingly important prerequisite for attracting and retaining good, qualified and motivated employees for the company.
