Overview
As digitalisation continues to shape the workplace – from remote working capabilities, surveillance tools, to algorithmic decision-making etc. – what are the potential legal issues that may arise for employers with respect to the Recruitment and Management aspects of Employment Law? How should employers consider other digitalisation-related issues, such as employees’ social media usage or data privacy etc?
Through interactive discussions, real-world examples and case studies, participants will learn how they can navigate the risks and pitfalls and ensure legal compliance in the modern workplace.

Leveraging on SMU’s distinctive pedagogy for interactive, discussion driven and thought provoking seminar-style teaching, we aim to provide our participants with the ability to translate the learning and insights into practice at the workplace. A variety of teaching methods such as experiential learning, role plays, case discussions, presentations, exercises and oral questioning will be employed by the programme’s faculty in the training sessions. There will also be an individual assessment at the end of every module which serve to assess a participant’s understanding of the subject matter.
