Member Event: Protect Your Business: HR Compliance Training for Small Employers

Running a small business is hard, and HR compliance can feel overwhelming — but getting it wrong is expensive. From incorrect contracts to mishandled disciplinaries, many SMEs don’t realise they’ve breached employment law until it’s too late.

This practical, interactive training course gives SME owners and managers the tools and confidence to manage HR safely, legally, and effectively.

Delivered by an experienced CMZ-HR Independent HR Consultant, the session breaks down compliance into simple steps you can apply immediately — no jargon, no legal lectures, just real-world advice for real-world businesses.

✔ Issue legally compliant contracts and policies

✔ Conduct investigations and disciplinaries safely (ACAS-compliant)

✔ Distinguish between conduct and performance issues
