Managing Discipline, Grievance and Dismissal

And how to avoid the pitfalls.

In summary

This program can run over one or two days, though two days is highly recommended as it allows much more time for hands-on skills practice.

Reference can be made to your company's own Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures where appropriate.

What is it about?

All areas of Employment and Discrimination Law contain complex pitfalls, so it is essential that managers understand what they must and must not do when investigating and carrying out a disciplinary action or managing a grievance. Many companies lose at Employment Tribunals because of failure to follow the correct procedure, or to inform the employee fully of their rights, even though they do have perfectly good reasons for disciplinary action or dismissal. This highly practical, interactive workshop carefully details every step of the process, clearly highlighting many of the common mistakes made in practice.
