Enact's Sustainability Due Diligence Practitioners Workshop Series: Human Resources
Enact Sustainable Strategies is proud to offer a specialised training series on human rights due diligence integration for practitioners working in internal controls and corporate functions.
Drawing on our extensive experience working with companies within responsible business conduct for 20 years, we recognise the practical challenges of integrating human rights due diligence into existing systems and processes. This training is designed to cut through complexity, providing clarity, concrete guidance to help you embed human rights due diligence into your daily responsibilities, strengthening your role as a trusted professional. The course enables professionals across functions to speak a common language and develop ways of working together to address human rights risks in a structured and practical way.
For each module we build the content around requirements that are relevant to the particular function, company good practice and the knowledge required by the staff in each function. Only limited seats are available for each module to ensure dialogue and tailored learning.
Important note: Participation requires prior relevant knowledge in each of the respective specialisation areas. You must have a relevant academic degree or vocational training or at least 3 years of experience working in the relevant field. At the registration you will be able to input your background and Enact reserves the right to decline participation for individuals who do not meet the requirements for prior knowledge.
Information about the Human Resources module:
This course is designed for HR professionals who want clear, practical guidance on what human rights due diligence means for people management and everyday HR practices. The training explains how emerging human rights due diligence regulations affect human resources functions and provides practical guidance on identifying, preventing and addressing human rights risks within workforce management. Through concrete examples and tools, participants will learn how to integrate due diligence into recruitment, workplace policies, employment engagement and organisational change processes.
We focus on moving from policies into practices when operating in or across multiple jurisdictions and designate much time to looking at good practice of companies. How and why integrating human rights due diligence into Human Resources is beneficial both to people strategy and business strategy. It motivates staff and makes a clear statement about how human rights are integrated into daily business practices.
By the end of the course, you will be equipped to embed human rights due diligence into HR practices, strengthen responsible business conduct and contribute to your organisation’s broader sustainability and compliance goals.
