Managing discipline and grievance (face to face)

Level – Developing

Acas wrote the Code of Practice on discipline and grievance. Employers are required to follow the code of practice when dealing with disciplinary and grievance matters. Where dismissal is an outcome, and a claim is made, a Tribunal will consider how closely an employer follows the code. 

Managing discipline and grievance procedures in the right way can help employers to:

  • explore and resolve underlying issues
  • build positive working relationships
  • improve engagement and productivity
  • avoid conflict and legal action

During this training you’ll develop your knowledge of the Acas code. You’ll also learn how to apply good practice based on a real-life case study that runs throughout.

Conducting investigations (face to face)

Level – Developing

When there is a problem at work, an investigation should be carried out as soon as possible. This can relate to grievances as well as potential disciplinary issues such as bullying, poor conduct, attendance or performance.

Carrying out a fair and impartial investigation will help managers to understand all the facts and help them reach an informed decision. It can also:

  • promote good working relationships
  • help organisations comply with the Acas code of practice on discipline and grievance
  • build trust with all employees

This training will help you conduct investigations confidently, in line with good practice and legal requirements.
