Disciplinary & Grievance Management

Understand how to handle disciplinary or grievance issues

Our Disciplinary and Grievance Management course equips participants with legal, technical and practical tuition and guidance.

Disciplinary situations are breaches in standards of conduct or wilful under-performance.  Grievances can be raised by employees at any time in relation to issues big or small, concerning a colleague, manager or organisational policies, practices and procedures.

Both can prove to be a challenge for managers, companies must ensure these processes are handled in a consistent, fair and legal manner in accordance with organisational standards and the ACAS code of practice. It is essential for organisations to handle these situations effectively so that standards of behaviour are maintained and to avoid costly Employment Tribunal claims.
