• creating a positive work and team environment
• reducing the risk of legal action

During this mock disciplinary event, you’ll learn by watching the process in action as trainers role play an example disciplinary hearing. You’ll be able to ask questions throughout.

Attending an employment tribunal can be a daunting prospect and the consequences of getting it wrong can be costly.

• see how the tribunal operates
• understand what needs to be prepared in advance
• gain insight into how decisions are made
• learn about the people involved and their roles

You will be able to ask questions throughout.
