Disciplinary Rules of Evidence
13 July @ 09h00 - 10h30
What are the basic rules of evidence? How are they applied internally during a disciplinary hearing and again at the CCMA? These are important questions because the final result and ultimately the fairness of the dismissal will depend on the evidence that was presented. Even if the employer representative knows how to present evidence, cross-examine witnesses and argue the employer’s case, it will be lost if he does not have a basic understanding of what the law says about evidence.
The Art of Exit Interviewing
13 July @ 14h30 - 16h00
The value of exit interviews is often overlooked. They frequently take the form of a list of questions that are glibly dealt with just to get the process over or in some instances there is no exit interview at all.
What is the company missing out on by not taking full advantage of this strategic opportunity?
If you, as a company, are able to effectively identify the reasons why people are resigning, you are much better placed to establish:
The POPI Act Unpacked
14 July @ 09h00 - 10h30
Depending on the seriousness of the breach, the POPI Act makes provision for fines of up to R10 million and a jail sentence of up to 10 years. Considering the severity of these penalties, it is imperative that organisations, particularly top management, understand the requirements as they are ultimately responsible and will bear the brunt of any non-compliance.
Restorative Discipline
14 July @ 14h30 - 16h00
Restorative discipline requires a paradigm shift in thinking from all stakeholders, but most notably from the side of the teachers and school management. More and more schools are starting to realise that the more traditional approach to discipline is becoming ineffectual. The restorative discipline approach aims to create a balance between being too lenient and too punitive.
School Safety
20 July @ 14h30 - 16h00
School safety is necessary to support the academic success of our learners. All too often we hear in the media reports of horrific accidents resulting in the injury or worse still the death of a child.
A recent article on Mail & Guardian tells of just such a story. In these circumstances, it is the staff members directly involved, as well as the School Management Team headed by the Principal, who are held accountable and in many cases severely sanctioned.

Diversity in Schools
25 July @ 14h30 - 16h00
So often it is assumed that since the dawn of our democracy, teachers should simply be able to fit in with what is now a changed landscape within their classrooms. While race and ethnicity are always at the forefront of any conversation regarding diversity there are so many more factors to take into consideration.
This webinar focuses on equipping the teacher to not only embrace the diversity within a classroom but encourage dialogue and communication in this regard.
Resignations
26 July @ 14h30 - 16h00
A growing number of people are quitting their jobs as the Covid-19 pandemic winds down. This is due to a variety of reasons but the most commonly stated is ‘toxic workplace culture’, with compensation and limited growth opportunity proving to be more moderate predictors of attrition. Examples of a toxic work environment have included:- Lack of respect from the company and/or colleagues, not feeling safe at work during the pandemic, pandemic induced difficulties and lack of a healthy work-life balance.
Powerful Ways to Create Open Communication In Your Team
27 July @ 14h30 - 15h30

When is it Harassment?
28 July @ 14h30 - 16h00
Everyone has the right to dignity and respect but, are people taking responsibility for ensuring that this is the case?
Do they know what constitutes harassment or do they think that harassment only applies in the form of sexual harassment?
We will explore this contentious topic and look to answer these questions:
