The change in legislation governing how employers and employees deal with discipline, dismissal and grievance issues – which came into force on 6 April 2009 – highlighted the need for managers to be trained in performance management and in particular the skills required to handle conflict at work. 

Employers and employees are now expected to comply with the new ACAS Code of Practice on Handling Discipline and Grievance in the workplace. If they fail to do so, employment tribunals have discretionary powers to adjust awards by up to 25%. This means that employers and employees must be fully aware of what is required of them. The workshop will help managers to understand the Code and how to reflect it in their procedures.

What is involved

- The manager’s role in identifying performance or behavioural issues
- A guide to new legislative framework on discipline, dismissal and grievance issues
- How to spot the early signs of performance or behavioural issues; when to act
