The University of the West Indies Open Campus Anguilla brought together persons from varying sectors of the community, on April 14 and 15, 2021, for their highly anticipated ‘The Law and You! Labour Relations in Anguilla’ workshop.
The workshop targeted specific areas of the Labour (Relations) Act and provided participants with a greater level of understanding and skills to effectively manage the workplace with the requisite knowledge of the Labour Laws of Anguilla. The interactive session presented practical applications to human resource needs by using the law.
Over the two days, participants were involved in group activities and indepth discussion of the law. Participants also compared their current company handbooks to the current law ensuring their compliance with the labour law. Additionally, the question and answer sections were truly insightful and participants spoke of the challenges and prejudices that supposedly impede justice when it comes to labour in Anguilla.
Participants of the course lauded the UWI Open Campus Anguilla for the initiative and were quoted as saying: “We spent two wonderful days learning about the Labour Law and its application. It is an absolute necessity that employers and employees understand the labour law and use it effectively. We are now more knowledgeable and are grateful for this opportunity. The knowledge, insight of the law and the ability to connect with people by the facilitator made the world of difference.”
The UWI Open Campus Anguilla continues to offer varying courses and workshops. Persons should contact the University of the West Indies Open Campus Anguilla via telephone 264-497-8156 or via email at anguilla@open.uwi.edu to learn of course and/or workshop offerings.
