The course includes hands-on case studies and practical exercises using real-world scenarios such as calculating termination benefits, drafting compliant employment contracts, and managing MOHRE complaints. Learners work through interactive modules that simulate actual HR challenges, including handling unfair dismissal claims and transferring employees between mainland and free zones like DIFC and ADGM. The lab environment consists of document drafting, role-playing grievance hearings, and compliance checklists aligned with MOHRE inspection standards.
