Copeland McAllister’s Employment Relations Masterclass is a hands-on, interactive workshop designed for anyone leading or managing people – or any employer wanting a solid, practical understanding of employment relations. 

Delivered over two full days (spaced a week apart so you can put your learning into practice), this Masterclass gives you the confidence, tools, and know-how to handle real workplace situations as they arise. 

Led by our expert employment law team, the sessions combine clear legal guidance with practical tools, activities, and real-world scenarios you can take straight back to your workplace.

What you’ll gain

• A clear, practical understanding of employment law – without the jargon
• Confidence to handle day-to-day people issues the right way
• Skills to manage risk and make sound decisions in real situations

What’s covered?

You’ll work through the full employment lifecycle, with practical guidance across: 

• Start Smart: Hiring and IEAs
• Tread carefully: Disciplinary processes that stand up
• Managing performance the right way
• Safe workplaces: Your duties, your risks
• Privacy at Work: What you must know (and do)
• Restructure right
• When things go wrong: Handing personal grievances
