Making redundancies can be a daunting and potentially costly prospect. Employers are legally required to follow a fair process when making redundancies

At this interactive event, you will observe an employer navigating a fictional redundancy procedure for up to 19 employees.  

We will explore the impact on the organisation and its people along the way. 

Attending this mock redundancy will help you:

• Avoid legal pitfalls
• Apply good practice 
• Approach redundancy processes with more confidence

When a disciplinary or grievance issue arises, a thorough investigation helps employers to: 

• gather all relevant facts
• ensure fairness and consistency
• avoid assumptions and costly mistakes
• maintain trust and engagement

This immersive mock event presents a realistic, acted scenario from start to finish.  It offers:

• a step-by-step run-through of a disciplinary investigation process
• a demonstration of best practices
• different perspectives and challenges
• opportunities to ask questions and learn from Acas experts

Attendees will develop practical skills and increased confidence to lead or support investigations that are robust, fair, and compliant with best practice.

Conducting a disciplinary hearing can be daunting. The skills and knowledge managers need to carry out an effective hearing can often be difficult to learn on the job.

Managers who can run a hearing well will be best placed to maintain a working relationship with an employee whilst:

• setting clear expectations
• reducing conflict
• 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.
