About the course
Workers' Rights Act – Level 2: Legal Acumen & Performance Innovation
Build on your foundational knowledge with this practical, in-depth course covering the legal, compliance, and performance management dimensions of the Workers' Rights Act. Designed for professionals who need to confidently apply the law in real workplace situations.
Why this course matters
The Workers' Rights Act governs nearly every aspect of the employer-employee relationship in Mauritius — from how contracts are drafted to how terminations and redundancies are handled. Getting it wrong can expose your organization to legal disputes, financial penalties, and reputational damage, while getting it right builds trust, fairness, and stability in the workplace.
This course is essential for:
- HR practitioners and managers who need to draft compliant contracts and handle disciplinary or redundancy processes correctly
- Business owners and executives who want to protect their organization from legal risk while treating employees fairly
- Supervisors and team leads who conduct performance appraisals and need to align them with both legal requirements and best practice
- Anyone responsible for people management who wants to move from a reactive to a proactive, informed approach to employment law
By the end of the course, participants will be able to confidently structure compliant work agreements, conduct effective and legally sound performance appraisals, and manage terminations, redundancies, and disciplinary processes with clarity and confidence — reducing risk while strengthening workplace relationships.
