Handling an employee grievance
|
Learn how to deal with employee grievances in accordance with the Acas Code of Practice
It is important that all employee grievances are handled correctly. Failure to do so can lead to unnecessary and costly litigation.
If an employer does not comply with the Acas Code of Practice on disciplinary and grievance procedures, it could lead to an uplift of 25% in an employment tribunal award.
A well handled grievance can provide valuable insight, alerting employers to problems in the workplace and giving them the opportunity to resolve issues without further conflict escalating.
As well as demonstrating the correct process to follow, this event will focus on emotional intelligence, relationship building, treating people fairly and establishing trust.
