WALKING THE LABOUR LAW TIGHTROPE videos:

The material for the video was created by Ivan Israelstam, a leading expert in South African labour law, employee relations and workplace best practice. Israelstam, a former CCMA Commissioner has been recognised for his exceptional contribution in this field by being featured in the book Who’s Who in Southern Africa.

The animated narrative and live case study format counteracts what is normally seen by line managers and practitioners as burdensome and dry labour law material. Our approach to labour law makes the learning experience stimulating and enjoyable for the viewer.

The case study running through the entire life of the company portrayed from the beginning to the end of the video is highly informative but also tells a great story, keeping the viewers captivated, and teaches them how not to manage the workplace.

The lightness and simplicity of the video’s format makes the learning enjoyable and therefore accessible to most South Africans, and the relevant labour law and best practice advice given in each chapter, is delivered in a user-friendly manner.

The 48 videos focus on enabling employers to walk the narrow and sometimes precarious tightrope of business profitability vs compliance with challenging labour legislation, making it an indispensable tool for managers who are struggling to achieve this precarious balance.

The wide variety of important labour law topics covered in the video make it a multi-faceted tool for all business owners, managers and HR practitioners.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

"The contents of the videos are insightful, relevant, practical, and easy to understand thus making the learning experience valuable. As regards the effect of the audio-visual medium on the viewers, the use of cartoon characters kept our viewers entertained but equally “edu-tained” (educated & entertained).

The case studies sparked constructive discussions and introspection among the viewers as supervisors/HOD and Shop Stewards within the workplace.

The language used is user friendly, easy to understand and allows viewers to engage in constructive discussions on video content in relations to the workplace dynamics.

Overall, these videos are useful because they are short, relevant, and practical.

In terms of value for money of the video series we run a 24/7 production; therefore, our production management do not have the luxury of attending all day trainings. However, these videos have managed to bridge the gap between ER/HR training and production. Consequently, production is not compromised by all day training, therefore, it is fair to conclude that the videos are worth every cent."

"I purchased access to the full set of videos and have been watching them in order. Having been exposed to your knowledge, experience and credibility in the past, I had high expectations, and I was not disappointed. I'll be returning to these videos and sharing them with colleagues and students.

The videos are engaging and humorous, with a storyline to keep the viewer interested and provide context. The animation also helps to illustrate the humour - especially the running metaphor of labour law as a tightrope. It is good to be aware that managers are not all-powerful, that they make mistakes due to impulsivity, pride and stubbornness, and that reasonable communication can help avoid them falling off the tightrope. Thank you for contributing a valuable resource to the South African business and professional landscape.”

The case studies are particularly effective, as they showcase a real-world scenario that help bridge the gap between theoretical concepts and practical application.

The terminology used throughout the videos is clear and accessible, making it easy for both those with HR backgrounds and those entirely new to labour law to follow along. This accessibility ensures that everyone can engage meaningfully with the content, regardless of their experience level.

Overall, the video series is an exceptional learning and reference tool, providing great value for money. We highly recommend it to any organisation looking to deepen their team’s understanding of labour law in a way that is both impactful and enjoyable.”
