Managing discipline and grievance - two 3hr sessions over two consecutive days

A comprehensive guide to managing both discipline and grievance in line with the Acas Code of Practice

Managing discipline and grievance can be tough for everyone involved. It is important to ensure that the correct steps and procedures are followed at all stages as failure to do so can lead to unnecessary and costly litigation. 

Employers who do not follow the Acas Code of Practice on disciplinary and grievance procedures can face an uplift of 25% in any employment tribunal award.

Aside from the legal requirements, employers who manage processes effectively can help build working relationships, and foster healthier and more productive workplaces.

This event will explain the Acas Code of Practice on disciplinary and grievance procedures in detail and explore a real life case study to help put the knowledge and skills into practice.

It will explain the law and outline the correct steps to follow when managing discipline and grievance, as well explore informal approaches and the associated  positive impact these can have on the workplace.
