Managing underperformance or inappropriate behaviour at work can be challenging, and the pressure is on to get it right - say the wrong thing, skip a step, or move too fast, and you could expose your business to serious risk.
If an employee hasn’t responded to feedback or a performance improvement plan, or if their behaviour was so serious that it’s fundamentally affected your trust in them, you might be considering issuing them with a warning, or dismissing them from your business altogether.
This practical seminar is for small business owners and people leaders who need to manage disciplinary issues fairly, lawfully, and with confidence. We’ll walk through what a good disciplinary process actually looks like — from raising concerns and investigating issues, to making defensible decisions and communicating outcomes clearly.
Hosted by HR expert Sylvie Thrush Marsh, this session is designed to equip business owners and managers with the skills needed to manage disciplinary issues with confidence.

Business leaders
