Dr. Martin Hejma

Trainer/speaker profile

"I enjoy conveying current employment law content in a comprehensible way so that people remember it even after the training event . In my opinion, the best way to achieve this is by communicating as practically as possible in close cooperation with the audience and discussing specific questions together - as well as laughing together at appropriate points."
