Training and Sensitisation Session Calendar

Every business should have a system that clearly outlines expectations for standards of behaviour, procedures and protocols – whether through company policies or a policy manual. Within the context of the difficulties currently presented by the Covid-19 pandemic, such a system is even more important, as it can:

• Avoid inconsistencies;
• Protect your company from costly litigation or fraudulent employee behaviour, and;
• Serve as a training tool, especially for new employees.

This session will provide useful insights for both large and small organisations, whether you need to update existing policies or create new ones. Participants will leave with the skills needed to effectively write and communicate workplace policies, even within the environment of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, ensuring that their current policies or policy manuals are relevant to the current and future needs of their organisation.

Topics to be Covered

• Essentials of a good policy
• Lifecycle of a policy
• The language, style and format of a policy
• Measuring and evaluating the impact of a policy
• Policy roll-out: the dos and don’ts
• Practical Writing Session on Key Workplace Policies: Lay Off, Work from
• Home Policy, Sick Leave and Grievance policy in the context of COVID-19

As Trinidad and Tobago continue to face the challenges associated with existing public health restrictions and stay-at-home orders, many employers have turned to work-from-home, where feasible, to support business continuity and survival. Under normal circumstances, time management is often a difficult task and usually manifests in significant overtime bills for many companies. Remote work introduces a new set of challenges for employers, not only with time management but also with ensuring that work is conducted in a safe environment and manner.

But what should happen when a worker wishes to claim overtime in a remote environment? What happens if an injury occurs? What are the rights and obligations of employers and employees?

Whether you have an existing work-from-home policy or considering the development of a remote work system, this two-part session will frontally address these issues and equip participants with the knowledge and tools needed to competently and correctly address matters associated with overtime and injury in a remote environment.
