Employment Law for Non-Swedish Managers

Managing employees in Sweden requires more than just leadership skills – it demands a solid understanding of Swedish employment law and workplace culture. Throughout the day, you will work with practical cases, participate in discussions, and explore real-life scenarios to strengthen your understanding. Delivered live online via Microsoft Teams.

Is it really that hard to terminate someone in Sweden? How do I handle performance or misconduct issues? Do I really have to approve leave plus parental leave all summer?

The course blends expert guidance with interactive discussions, real-life cases, and hands-on exercises to ensure you gain both knowledge and confidence. By the end of the day, you will have a clear understanding of your legal responsibilities as a manager and how to navigate common situations in a compliant and effective way.

Leading without being a manager

Being the leader of the team and at the same time being part of the operational work is the daily life of most team leaders. Much of the role is about guiding others and ensuring that the team interaction works. Feedback and coaching are important elements of the role as well as clarity in values and rules. Knowing what to do is one thing, but how to do it is just as important. In our training for team leaders and supervisors, you get a concrete toolbox for your daily leadership.

Training for team leaders that gives you…

Practical training with a focus on communication and motivation. Discussions, exchange of experiences and self-reflection are also important parts of our course. You will gain many new insights and understanding of the role of team leader or supervisor. During the course, you will also learn useful methods for coaching, decision-making, conflict resolution and motivating your team.

This is our bestselling course Leda utan att vara chef, now available in English.

Self-Leadership

Self-leadership is the ability to guide and manage yourself: to set your own goals, take responsibility for your actions, and stay motivated without relying on external control. It involves self-awareness, discipline, and actively choosing how you think, act, and develop.

In the workplace, this may mean taking responsibility for prioritising the right tasks and independently driving your work forward – something that is important for both managers and employees. The ability to lead yourself is one of the most valuable skills in today’s working life, especially in organisations with remote or hybrid work.

A course in self-leadership

In our self-leadership course, we explore how you can find your own way to succeed at work, lead yourself to success, and create a motivating and sustainable working life with strong relationships. During the two course days, you will receive guidance and support from our experienced instructors, engage in discussions with other participants, and share your own experiences and challenges.

After completing the course, you will have gained practical tools to lead yourself and strengthen your self-reflection. The course will help you become more aware of how to navigate both your own planning and your interactions and communication with others.

The theoretical basis of our self-leadership course

Our self-leadership course is based on the Maximise Learning™ method. This approach is designed to enhance learning through three clear steps: BEFORE – DURING – AFTER. Throughout the programme, you will receive ongoing support and practical tips, and you will also be invited to a complimentary peer learning session three months after completing the course.

This is our bestselling course Självledarskap, now available in English.

New as manager

What is expected of you as a manager? How do you lead employees who were previously your colleagues? Which laws and regulations do you need to be familiar with? How do you motivate and delegate for best results? How do you get a team to collaborate and perform? These are just some of the questions you will get clear answers to during our management training.

How does it work?

In our New as manager training, you will work with real-life situations and actively participate in exercises that provide valuable insights into your new leadership role. The training is largely case-based, combining theory with practical exercises, discussions, and reflection. This gives you new skills that are valuable for the entire organisation, helping you feel more confident in areas such as:

  • Delegating
  • Giving feedback
  • Coaching
  • Prioritising
  • Goal setting and performance management
  • Handling difficult conversations

An important part of the training is also the exchange of experiences and networking with other participants. You will build a network that you can benefit from long after completing the course.

New as manager – theoretical basis

Our method, Maximise Learning™, ensures that your investment goes beyond the classroom. The method is built around three clear steps to enhance learning and deliver stronger results: BEFORE – DURING – AFTER. This means that throughout your training, you will receive clear checklists, practical tips, and support to help you get the most out of the programme.
