Programme overview
Introduction:
Organisational exposure to statutory penalties, contractual disputes, and operational friction often stems from misalignments between statutory labour standards and day-to-day workforce administration. Regulatory divergence creates legal vulnerabilities across recruitment, contract management, wage governance, and end-of-service processing. Offered by Core Concept, this five-day course establishes systematic governance over labour law and human resources management by aligning internal employment policies with international compliance standards and binding statutory codes. Participants evaluate workplace practices against statutory mandates, standardise operational workflows, and construct a robust Human Resources Compliance Audit and Risk Remediation Matrix to secure institutional compliance across complex operating environments.

- Formulate employment governance procedures that align operational policies with statutory employment mandates and fundamental labour rights.
- Establish human resource compliance architecture using ISO 37301:2021 management controls and ISO 30408:2016 human governance principles.
- Administer contract lifecycles, working hours, and wage protection protocols using standardised operational control procedures.
- Mitigate employment dispute exposure through structured disciplinary documentation, lawful termination processes, and workplace investigation protocols.
- Compile an enterprise Human Resources Compliance Audit and Risk Remediation Matrix to rectify procedural deficits across operational units.
