Management Training is a specialized service aimed at equipping middle and senior-level executives with essential legal knowledge. Often, it is the direct supervisors (Line Managers) who make decisions that subsequently create legal problems — whether it's verbal dismissal of an employee, a discriminatory comment, or disregarding safety rules. Unlike HR personnel, managers are not required to have detailed knowledge of the code, but they must know the "red lines" that cannot be crossed.
This training focuses on the link between managerial practice and legal risks. The program covers topics such as effective communication to prevent labor disputes, correct application of disciplinary measures, and legal aspects of employee appraisal. Specialists registered on Legal.ge offer pragmatic courses designed in business language, helping managers lead teams effectively and legally without excessive bureaucratic burden.
What does Management Training cover?
- Leadership and Labor Law: The manager's role in establishing legal culture and their responsibility to the company.
- Discrimination and Harassment: How to identify and prevent bullying and sexual harassment in the team; manager's obligation to respond.
- Performance Management: How to warn an employee about poor performance in a legally sound manner (PIP - Performance Improvement Plan).
- Working Time Management: Rules for assigning overtime work and respecting rest periods.
- Interviewing Techniques: What questions cannot be asked during an interview (prevention of discrimination).
- Confidentiality: Protecting trade secrets and personal data in managerial activities.
Common scenarios requiring this service
A typical scenario involves a department head emotionally "firing" an employee, leading to a lawsuit and the company paying forced downtime compensation. The training teaches the manager how to behave in such situations. Another scenario is an interview where a manager asks a candidate about family plans, which is discriminatory. A third case involves informal "overtime" where a manager asks the team to stay without pay, leading to a Labor Inspection fine.
Georgian Legal Framework
The training is based on the Labor Code of Georgia, the Anti-Discrimination Law, and best corporate governance practices. Special attention is paid to articles regarding prohibition of discrimination (Article 2), termination of employment (Article 37), and overtime work. The Law on Personal Data Protection is also discussed in a managerial context.
Step-by-step service process
The lawyer/trainer meets with the company leadership to identify management weaknesses (e.g., frequent conflicts, turnover). A short, intensive course (Workshop) is developed, tailored to managers' busy schedules. Sessions are interactive, with role-playing and simulations. The goal is not to memorize the law, but to develop correct behavioral models.
