HR FOCUS: Labor Relations and Mental Health

Generic Layout

REGISTER NOW

Labor Relations is always one of the many things that challenges the HR professionals. In this event, we shall talk about best practices and guidelines for Labor Relations so that we can make sure that we forward our company’s goals while adhering to the standards set by the Department of Labor and Employment. Furthermore, as the DOLE releases some updates in regard to the incorporation of Mental Health in the workplace for Private Sectors, we would like our HR community to know more about it.

What is Mental Health in the workplace? and what are the things we can do to make sure we build a culture in consideration of this? We will discuss all these and more during our session through the help of our Personal Development Coach Ms. Bonnie Factor.

In addition, we shall also talk about other recent updates from DOLE with the help of our special guest, OIC Director DOLE Bureau of Labor Relations, Atty. Maria Consuelo “Connie” Bacay. Here are some of these very interesting hot topics:

  • Implementation of mental health policies
  • Provision of employee’s final pay
  • Issuance of Certificate of Employment
  • Advisories on pre-employment documents

Have an opportunity to interact with our speakers through a short question and answer at the end of their presentations. This way, you can also clarify questions about these new policies and Mental Health in the workplace. 

The event shall be attended by HR practitioners and other professionals from different industries in the country so this will also be a great opportunity to network and gain new friends. As such, sponsorship opportunities are also welcome.

Learning Investment is only Php 1699.00 (Non-VAT) which is inclusive of your seminar materials, certificates, snacks, and lunch.
