Understanding the Employment Act

Effective Outsource Networks — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 07:37:54 +0000

The Employment Act, enacted in 1955, is the principal labour legislation relating to employee relations. However, this Act is not easy to understand and employers, employees and their respective organisations have had difficulty in obtaining clarification on this law from the related government agencies and others.

In view of this, many employers fall foul of the law in implementing HR policies and many employees and trade unions have misunderstood the law relating to their rights.

The Act has been amended on several occasions, the most recent amendments having been passed in Parliament only on 6 October 2011. Certain of these amendments have created a furore among trade unions in this country, resulting in pickets and demonstrations.

Objectives

After the two-day workshop, participants will be able to:

understand the Employment Act within the context of the latest amendments
ensure competency in compliance to the requirements of the law and contract
understand their rights
fulfil their obligations
avoid costly consequences

For Whom

HR practitioners, line managers, executives and supervisors who have to operate the Employment Act in the workplace.

Setting Up a Training and Development Process

Effective Outsource Networks — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 07:35:19 +0000

The training and development function is an important part of human capital management. Starting from recruitment, training needs may exist as employees are expected to deliver performance based on established goals and standards. Without an established procedure, organisations may risk not intervening with appropriate actions to close performance gaps.

Even as employees are sent for training, organisations need to justify that training is the correct solution to the performance problem such that the training investment is worthwhile. On a longer term, employee development activities will benefit the organisation as it will be better able to retain competent employees with an established career path.

This course aims to share with participants the necessary policy and procedure, tools and techniques to set up this empowering function within human capital management.

Objectives

After the two-day workshop, participants will be able to:

articulate the connection between training/development process and the other human capital management functions
differentiate the types of training needs
develop a competency matrix/dictionary
establish the procedure of training needs data collection
verify training as solution to performance gaps
establish a employee development framework
evaluate training programmes based on the Kirkpatrick model

For Whom

HR practitioners, line managers, executives and supervisors who need to plan and develop HR training and development process at the workplace.

Managing Employee Discipline Effectively

Effective Outsource Networks — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 04:56:45 +0000

A disciplined workforce is a prerequisite for the smooth functioning of any organisation and maintenance of a high level of quality and productivity in its products or services. An organisation can be said to have a well-disciplined workforce if employees adhere to regulations, comply with instructions and carry out their duties as they are supposed to.

However, in any organisation there would, invariably, be a few employees who breach the rules and would have to be punished. In the vast majority of cases, the delinquent employees who are punished seem to be exonerated in the courts and employers have had to pay heavily for dismissals carried out without just cause or excuse. This appears to be because employers have not been able to substantiate their case with facts relating to the case, and this in turn is caused by haphazard investigation, poor prosecution and bad conduct of due inquiries.

This programme is intended to impart to participants an understanding of what constitutes misconduct and how to conduct inquiries into misconduct effectively and make proper decisions/findings to ensure that the decision of the company to dismiss is upheld at any level.

After the two-day workshop, participants will be able to understand the various types of misconduct such as:

absenteeism, its causes and effects
lateness and tardiness
excessive medical leave, not seeing company doctor and patterned sick leave
poor performance, insubordination and related acts of misconduct
fraud, criminal breach of trust and cheating
fighting, sleeping at work, gambling, assault, sexual harassment, etc.
the various steps that can be taken to curb these acts of indiscipline
the appropriate disciplinary action that can be taken and the procedures involved

For Whom

HR/Admin managers, line managers and supervisors who are required to manage employee discipline.

Workshop Schedule and Fee

Course Date	22 & 23 Mar 2012
Time	9am to 5pm
Venue	Hotel Equatorial, KL
Early Bird Closing	1/3/2012
Fee Per Participant	RM 1,200 (Early Bird) RM 1,320 (Normal)
