WorkSMART Consulting has just conducted a 16-hour long workshop on “Practical Application of Bangladesh Labor Law & Rules – Case Study Method” with a blended learning or hybrid approach.
The workshop was conducted in TWO phases. In the First phase, 5 online sessions (2 hour each) were scheduled between February 7 – 15, 2024. Each class was delivered online in the evening between 8:00 PM – 10:00 PM. In these five classes, participants got an overview of the Bangladesh Labor Law 2006 and Bangladesh Labor Rules 2015 and its application in the day-to-day life of an HR, Compliance or Admin professional working in Bangladesh.
The Second phase was a day-long in-person workshop on how to conduct an internal disciplinary procedure as per our labor law and rules. Participants learnt about the different steps of an internal disciplinary procedure and the documentation process (writing enquiry proceedings, enquiry report etc.) of the entire proceedings in details. They also collaborated in teams to draft a “Show Cause Letter” based on a specific case and presented their product to the rest of the class. Other participants challenged and scrutinized the effort of each team and gave their opinions on each team’s product.
Besides discussing and analyzing the applications of labor laws and rules in different context, the participants were also given the opportunity to discuss about a host of case laws (from different labor courts and higher courts) to consolidate their learning. However, the most important element of the workshop was the realistic case studies that were put forward to the participants to challenge and test their understanding of the labor law. Overall, it was a very engaging 16 hours of blended learning for the participants.
Eminent legal professional and trainer Muhammad Habibur Rahman, Assistant Secretary General (Legal Affairs) of Bangladesh Employers’ Federation (BEF) facilitated this workshop. He was assisted by Ishtiak Taher, Lead Consultant, WorkSMART Consulting.
47 mid and senior level HR, Admin & Compliance professionals attended this workshop. The participants came from a varied range of industries like RMG, Textiles, Pharmaceuticals, Food & Beverage, Consumer Electronics, Fashion & Lifestyle Retail, Power & Energy, Telecom, Building Materials, Edu Tech Startup, Logistics etc.
