Workshop Content

This one-day workshop is designed for business owners and people managers to provide an overview of how to handle disciplinary hearings. As this is a difficult task for any manager, and made even more so by the need to protect an employee's natural rights and abide by fair procedures. This workshop provides the delegate with a practical understanding of how to effectively implement discipline and grievance procedures.

It also looks at the legislative requirements, reflects on lessons from case law, emphasises procedural requirements, and explores the practical skills needed to conduct meetings.
