Ken specialises in exploding the myths and removing anxieties about employment law through his clear and lively presentations and training.
The challenge
Despite government intentions, employment law has become increasingly complex and the number of applications to employment tribunals has risen 15% in the last year. Employees can take their employer to 'court' for the cost of a second class stamp, and with compensation awards now having exceeded £1 million, it is not surprising that managers can be nervous and fail to tackle issues effectively.
Solution
Ken specialises in exploding the myths and removing anxieties about employment law through his clear and lively presentations and training. As a result, managers and Directors then feel more confident to resolve practical people issues in the workplace, and take the necessary action in their business to avoid future problems.
Experience
Ken uses his understanding of managing businesses to show managers what they 'can do' rather than what they 'cannot do'. His unique proposition is that he combines a background in line management, corporate HR/Personnel, and seven years as a consultant with a major law firm, to deliver practical solutions that improve performance.
This experience, which has included providing a full range of personnel management services to small companies without their own HR manager, enables Ken to illustrate his presentations with real life examples relevant to a wide variety of enterprises.
He is also much in demand as a specialist speaker and trainer on issues of interest to HR professionals and employment lawyers, and has had articles published in People Management, Personnel Today, and Management Development International. He is the co-author of a guide to consultation in the workplace published by the Thomson Group.
Style and approach
His lively presentations for directors and senior managers are entertaining, interactive, and often case study based. Ken addresses issues raised by the delegates, so that they go away with answers to questions that they are currently facing.
From boards of individual companies, through to major conference events, Ken's lively style has provided CEOs, Directors and senior managers with an opportunity to gain a quick overview of employment law, and enabled them to act with increased confidence when tackling issues at work, and protecting the interests of their business.
