CLIENT TESTIMONIALS:

“I would like to recommend Emma Pritchard and Jenny Inness from Harmers Workplace Lawyers. They conducted Bullying and Harassment training throughout our organisation from the Executive Leadership Team through to retail store managers. The training was informative, engaging and expertly delivered. It was effective because they used relevant case law to illustrate the importance of championing a ‘harassment free workplace’. The P&C team received a lot of positive feedback about the training from the participants. We look forward to partnering with them again on future training and using their expertise to assist B&L in navigating the complexity of changes to workplace laws.”

“I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to Harmers for being an active partner in Solotel’s inclusiveness program, they have delivered such a well-planned series of sessions in Human Rights Compliance that resonated and impacted many of our employees. With the unfortunate industry norms that still exist, Solotel is wanting to lead the charge in making real change. The training that Harmers delivers brings the issues of sexual harassment, bullying and discrimination to the surface, opening up a safe forum of discussion for our employees.

Harmers not only facilitated this learning with deep knowledge of the legal framework, however in an empathetic and relatable manner through real cases and stories. Solotel recognises the importance of building awareness and due diligence in the way we conduct business, therefore the training that Harmers provides aligns with our values of diversity, authenticity and belonging.”
