You do a very challenging job.
One that requires a rare blend of influential people skills and deep technical knowledge for it to be done well.
The impact you have on the business you support and on the lives of those you support is significant.
It’s hard, but no doubt rewarding work.
However the stresses and strains do take their toll.
You probably put more time and effort into your work than you should…
…especially when faced with some of those trickier issues you have to deal with.
The ones you never see coming and that require your full attention, creativity and mental energy to solve.
You inevitably find a way, but do you ever struggle with imposter syndrome?
The feeling that at some point someone is going to “find you out”?
It’s extremely common, though rarely publicly admitted in the HR profession.
If you’re not a lawyer and you find yourself dealing with the law, there’s the potential for that nagging doubt that you might just be missing something.
It can create uncertainty and undermine your confidence.
That never feels good
If you’re not careful, it can fuel any insecurities you have.
Especially if you feel you’re over your head with something and outside your comfort zone.
The Government has made your work even MORE challenging.
The Employment Rights Act will be coming into force, in stages, over the next 24 months.
You’re probably sick of hearing about it.
As you know, there are sweeping changes to legislation covering:
The Act leaves more technical questions than it answers.
But unfortunately you and your profession will have to bear the heavy burden and workload of implementing these changes.
And while things are still uncertain, doubt, fear and worry are rife.
Here are some of the deeper questions my HR friends and colleagues are asking:
"How am I supposed to keep up with these massive changes when I'm already stretched so thin managing day-to-day issues?"
"What if I spend weeks updating contracts, policies, and systems, only for the government to change the rules again with yet more Regulations?"
"Will I have the time and resources to implement these changes properly, or am I setting my company up for legal risks by missing something critical?"
"How can I reassure my managers and employees when I don’t even know what the final rules will look like or when they’ll come into effect?"
"Am I going to be held responsible if my organisation gets it wrong because I didn’t prepare enough — or because I prepared too soon?"
You too?
What’s the answer?
Working harder isn’t an option if you want to stay healthy and live a balanced life.
Working smarter, however, is.
Archimedes once said, “give me a lever big enough, and I can move the world”.
What's a powerful lever to add to your existing toolbox of skills, knowledge and experience that WILL help you work smarter, work faster and save you time…
…an addition that will raise your credibility, give you greater gravitas and authority, increase the professional respect for you AND significantly boost your confidence…?
…it's a deeper knowledge of employment law.
…and a helping hand for you to implement the many significant and complex changes the Employment Rights Act will throw at you…
…at least once they become clear.
What Will This Deeper Knowledge And Legal Understanding Give You?
Gaining this deeper understanding is one of those hindsight career decisions that you wish you’d made much earlier.
There’s a programme that will give you exactly that.
One that will elevate your expertise, confirm your credibility and reinforce the respect worthy of your contribution and impact on the business you support.
It’s called the
Virtual Employment Law Academy…
with a secret add-on named “Project Employment Rights Act Update”
Here’s How It Works…
There are 2 parts to the Virtual Employment Law Academy.
1. The Virtual Employment Law Academy itself
2. Project “Employment Rights Act Update”
First let me explain how the Academy works, then I’ll reveal what Project “Employment Rights Act Update” is all about.
The Virtual Employment Law Academy

Each module consists of a live, targeted, 60-90 minute lecture by our expert barrister tutor on an important employment law topic.
It’s then followed by up to an hour of Q&A where you can ask any questions you have about the subject covered in that session.
It’s much more than just an accredited qualification that will boost your CV, raise your standing in the HR community and help you work your way up that ladder of HR success.
You’ll learn about the practical aspects of employment law relevant to your role in a safe, supportive and inspiring community of fellow ambitious HR professionals.
Regardless of which level you enrol in at, the programme equips you to:
Every student who enrols in the Virtual Employment Law Academy automatically gets:
What Our Students Say
"These lectures have been brilliant, they have covered so much, the detail & knowledge from Daniel has really helped in bringing things together for me. The extra support in Slack, including information from Darren and resources from Daniel has been great. I couldn’t recommend enough, I will miss these sessions each Tuesday. They have been integral in my learning and understanding of HR. Thank you Daniel."
Amy Sharpe
"This is an excellent course. From communication, delivery and tutorial quality with exceptional employment law barristers, I can’t think of a better way to learn this material. I wish I had this available in my early career."
Tash Johnson
"As a Head of HR in a standalone role, staying current with employment law is absolutely essential but also challenging without the support of a wider HR team. This course exceeded my expectations in both content and delivery. It’s comprehensive, clearly presented, and highly relevant to real-world HR practice.
This is my second course in a row with Daniel, having previously enrolled as a premium student, and I continue to be impressed by the standard of learning and the practical insights offered. The course provides incredible value, especially for HR professionals who need to stay sharp and confident when dealing with complex employment issues.
I can confidently say I’ll be returning again gladly!"
Maria Francesca Mastinu
"This is a must do course to keep up to date with employment law and all the changes that are coming. It will give you the tools and confidence needed. The course is structured in such a way that it is easy to fit in around your day to day work and the live Q&As are really valuable – even if you do not have a question of your own, you pick up very useful advice and information to file away for later. Daniel’s style of presenting is really enjoyable – love his sense of humour as well as the incredible knowledge he imparts. Also good to have Darren presenting – he is also fun. Everything is recorded, you have your workbooks so all you need to refer back to later. Highly recommended!"
