The Disciplinary Process

Build practical understanding of disciplinary procedures and apply consistent, defensible approaches.

Handle workplace issues fairly and confidently

Learn how to effectively manage the disciplinary process. Every week we read of cases where employers have been ordered to pay significant penalties. This is where the disciplinary process followed has resulted in the employee taking personal grievance action, claiming they have been unjustifiably dismissed or disadvantaged. The law is very specific, not only requiring justification for disciplinary action, but necessitating that the process followed is fair. This one-day course will prepare you well for the process, so it’s done right.
