At the LWO, our mission is clear: to play a dynamic role in the management of labour relations that will contribute to a productive and sustainable work environment. Our workshops play a key role by providing practical and relevant training that focuses specifically on the employer’s realities. By addressing current topics and explaining legal requirements in an understandable way, our workshops enable employers to be proactive, limit risks and build a fair, legal and productive workplace.

For the past 35 years, the LWO has had a world-class team of highly qualified legal advisors who provide labour law advice and labour law services nationally to employers on a daily basis. Since 2023, the LWO has again offered a series of practical workshops focusing on labour law for the employer. Workshops are offered online via a digital platform such as Microsoft Teams, as well as in person.
