Hornbill Professional Development works with boards, executives and HR teams across Botswana on the legal and governance questions that carry real consequences — employment and labour relations, regulatory compliance, data protection, and technology in the workplace. Practitioner-led, delivered in person or online.
Most organizations do not fail their legal obligations deliberately. They fail them because nobody in the room was sure what the obligation actually was.
Hornbill closes that gap three ways. Advisory puts experienced counsel in the room with your board on governance, risk and regulatory exposure. Consultancy takes a defined problem — a policy that needs rewriting, an audit finding that needs closing, a process that needs to survive scrutiny — and works it through to a documented outcome. Training equips the people who apply those rules day to day, in two- and three-day classroom programmes built around Botswana law rather than imported material.
The ground we cover, whether you engage us for a board session, a defined consultancy piece, or a scheduled course.
Governance structures, board effectiveness, director duties and the decisions that carry personal liability.
Contracts, discipline, retrenchment and dispute handling under Botswana employment law.
Data protection, digital contracting and the legal exposure that comes with digitising a process.
Readiness reviews before the regulator arrives, and closing the findings after they leave.
Charters, delegation of authority, conflict-of-interest regimes and the paperwork that has to hold up.
Mapping the obligations that apply to your sector and evidencing that you meet them.
Contracts, standards, liability and risk allocation on technical and infrastructure projects.
Any programme rebuilt around your policies, your sector and your people, delivered at your premises.
Everything we do falls into one of three service lines. We call it ACT. Delivered online or in person.
Independent guidance on a specific decision or exposure — a board resolution, a restructure, a regulator's letter that needs answering. You get a clear position, the reasoning, and your options — not a memorandum you need a lawyer to interpret.
Structured assignments where something needs examining and rebuilding. We look at how things are actually done, not how the policy says they are done, then give you a plan you can implement. Governance reviews, compliance audits, policy frameworks, data protection readiness, employment relations diagnostics.
Short, intensive, in-person programmes that build capability inside your team. Four scheduled specialist programmes, plus bespoke in-house training designed around your organization and sector. Every programme issues a certificate on completion. Fees are published.
Programmes are built on the Acts that actually bind you — including the Data Protection Act No. 18 of 2024, in force since October 2024.
We don't just run standard courses. We design bespoke programmes around your operations, schedule and culture — at your premises or ours.
Sessions are run by people who have advised on these matters, not read about them.
Every delegate leaves with documentation for their own professional record.
Specialized courses, delivered online or in person. Every delegate receives a certificate on completion.
Contracts, discipline, grievance handling, retrenchment and dispute resolution under Botswana employment law — for HR practitioners and the line managers who have to apply it.
Botswana's Data Protection Act has been in force since October 2024. This programme covers what compliance requires in practice, alongside technology law and intellectual property.
Identify the obligations that actually bind your organization, build the controls that satisfy them, and produce the evidence when a regulator asks.
