Participants will be divided into groups and given a particular scenario to consider. Each group member will be fully involved in the scenario and provide solutions and suggestions with feedback from the facilitators. Participants will have the opportunity to get involved in all aspects: recruiting, putting together a contract of employment, handling a dismissal and responding to a discrimination claim.
