Effective management of disciplinary and grievance procedures is essential to ensure that you protect your organisation from claims, and also to avoid losing good staff who lack confidence in your leadership.
During this interactive morning workshop employment and education solicitor Annie Gray will provide an overview of how to conduct a reasonable investigation into a grievance / disciplinary matter, and how to engage in a fair process thereafter.
Relevant and realistic case studies will be used for delegates to work through which will draw out some of the key issues that often arise.
The workshop will cover:
- The need for implementing a consistent, uniform approach
- Understanding the benefits of managing disciplinary and grievance investigations
- What the law requires for a fair dismissal
- The implications of not following the required policies and procedures
- Understanding the importance of investigation and what amounts to a reasonable investigation
- How to structure and prepare for formal investigation & disciplinary meetings
- Preparing relevant questions
- Understanding the interview techniques required for effective investigation
- Taking notes during meetings and record the meetings in a particularly useful and legally sufficient way
- Having more confidence dealing with tricky issues which arise
- Presenting the findings and outcomes in a clear, logical and objective way
There will also be plenty of time for delegates to ask questions and discuss tricky issues.
Refreshments will be provided.
