Applications must be submitted by February 13, 2017.
The course at Sant’Anna School comprises of 8 modules, which can be attended separately, delivered in a three months period from February 24 to April 21 for a total of 32 learning hours. Video-conferencing lessons are offered at TI Forma Florence via Giovanni Paisiello 8. The course is aimed at law, political science and economics graduates. HR Professionals with one year experience, trade unions representatives and labour consultants can apply to take the course coordinated by Paolo Carrozza, Esq., professor of Sant’Anna School, and Pasqualino Albi, Esq., professor of University of Pisa.
The impact of employment law reforms, the introduction of a new type of open-ended contract for new recruits and the important changes to employment law and tribunal procedures are intended to bring innovations in both the private and public sectors. The changes imply that most HR departments may fail to get to grips with real issues in labour.
The course objective is to train HR professionals and lawyers working in the public sector or in private companies; to focus on the ethics of HRM policies and practices in organizations and on the roles of HR practitioners.
“There is a need to address quality and ethics issues to foster more debate amongst private and public organizations, trade unions and HR professionals. Given the trend in Western societies towards decline of trade unionism and the emergence of more individualist approaches to employment, the recognition that people constitute ‘human capital’ has fostered a new interest in how to ‘manage’ human resources.
The impact of labour laws can be negative when regulation is excessive or insufficient. Labour lawyers should be prepared to examine the impact of worker-protective norms and to query claims made over employment relationships” Paolo Carrozza and Pasqualino Albi said.
