People are the most valuable asset of every organization, and the relationship between employers and employees is governed by legal principles that promote fairness, accountability, productivity, and organizational stability. Business leaders who understand employment law and workers’ rights are better equipped to recruit talent, manage teams, resolve workplace conflicts, reduce legal risk, strengthen organizational culture, and build high-performing enterprises based on trust and ethical leadership.
Employment Law & Workers’ Rights is a practical, executive-oriented course designed to provide Junior MBA students with the knowledge and leadership skills necessary to manage workplace relationships responsibly and strategically. Rather than emphasizing legal theory or court procedures, the course focuses on practical management decisions involving hiring, compensation, workplace policies, employee performance, diversity, artificial intelligence in human resources, workplace investigations, conflict resolution, organizational governance, and long-term leadership.
Students will explore employment relationships, recruitment practices, workplace rights, organizational ethics, employee engagement, labor relations, digital workforce management, remote work, executive accountability, and strategic human capital management. Throughout the course, emphasis is placed on practical business application, preparing future leaders to build legally compliant, ethically responsible, and high-performing organizations.
