Within our area of expertise, BEERG provides open and “in-house” training programmes, briefings and workshops.  Our events are “content rich” and intensely practically.  We prefer to work with smaller groups so that individuals can benefit from personal attention and discuss the specific issues that matter to them.

Our work with individual companies ranges from bespoke briefings to presentations at major conferences.  Our executive briefings are designed for individual executives or a small group of senior executives and deal with global employee relations issues in the specific countries and international responsibilities.  We work with small groups of HR and line management teams to help them explore specific company related issues – like setting up a European Works Council, revising an EWC agreement, making an existing EWC more effective, negotiating techniques aimed at a specific event or dealing with the employee relations aspect of an acquisition.  We also reproduce our open events for large companies – either as set piece programmes or as a shorter contribution to an existing HR conference.

Among our training offerings are:

• Managing European Employee Relations, a public programme run twice a year in Sitges, Barcelona.
• Understanding European Works Councils, an in-house briefing for companies within the scope of the EWC Directive but which have not yet set up an EWC.
• Negotiating Skills for HR Professionals, an in-house programme designed to assist client companies   develop the necessary negotiating skills to handle either labour relations negotiations or general, day-to-day negotiations such as negotiating an employment contract with a new employee, a severance package with a departing executive or an agreement with a service provider.

Our next public  programme is Managing Employee Relations in Europe which will be run in Sitges, Barcelona from April 6 to 8…
