Course Structure

1. Recruiting Staff
Staff recruitment may be thought of as a seven stage process beginning with the development of a job profile. In this lesson, we review each step in the process.

2. Reward Structure
There are many factors that go into making an employment role a rewarding experience for staff.

3. Performance Recognition
Employee performance may be thought of as a combination of the three C’s: Competence, Commitment and Confidence

4. Disciplinary Process
Every now and again, staff performance causes sufficient concern for disciplinary procedures to be considered. It is imperative that every employer treats staff fairly and follows the disciplinary process set out in its employment policies.

5. Employment Law
This lesson focuses on some of the practical considerations that must be addressed to ensure that an organisation complies with Irish employment legislation.

6. Internal Controls
Considering the range of employment legislation to be adhered to, it is no surprise that a range of internal controls and procedures may be required to ensure compliance.

7. Policies
An organisation demonstrates its commitment to adhering to employment legislation through the range of policies it adopts. Policies relating to the management of employees are typically contained in an employee or company handbook.

8. Avoiding Unfair Dismissal Claims No organisation wants to find itself defending an unfair dismissals claim in front of the Workplace Relations Commission. To help avoid such claims, it is essential to have certain policies and procedures in place.
