Firm delivers real-world learning to students

HR and employment law company Precept has teamed up with the University of Derby to deliver practical examples of situations they could be faced with in the workplace.

The firm has been helping Masters students studying HR and business management at the university’s Kedleston Road campus to get to grips with disciplinary and grievance procedures.

Director Rob Tice led sessions on the topic, explaining the legalities and talking through a case study on sexual harassment in the workplace.

He was accompanied by Michelle Whitworth, programme co-ordinator and a senior lecturer in business management.

Rob said: “I ran through practical examples of what situations may arise in the workplace with students, and we touched on the discrimination laws that we have here in the UK.

“It was good to give the students the opportunity to have a hands-on experience and it was great to create links with the University of Derby and future leaders.”
