Overview
Prior to addressing conduct and capability issues with employees, it is essential that you have undertaken a thorough and robust investigation into the matters of concern. Managing Investigations can help you with this.
You cannot present a case to an employee without first having explored all the circumstances surrounding the alleged misconduct/poor performance for them to be able to respond to the company’s position.
Managing Investigations takes you through a real-life case from start to finish and gives you practical skills to be able to undertake thorough investigations. It will enable you to decide what the next steps are in fairly managing conduct and capability challenges as well as potentially fair and legally compliant dismissals.
