Our many years of experience tells us that managing employees with performance issues is one of the most challenging workplace issues for employers. In this half day course we will look at the legal framework and provide you with practical tips on handling employees who can't or won't do the job including:-

• use of probationary periods and the significance of 2 years' qualifying service

• the key elements of an effective performance management process

• dealing with difficult conversations

• tricky issues including attitude issues, patterns of performance improving and then dipping,  grievances, sickness absence, accusations of bias, disability issues and the need for reasonable adjustments during performance management

• protected conversations: when and how to have them

• practical tips

• recent cases 

Keep up-to-date with the key legal requirements and best practice in the workplace saving your organisation time and money. Our courses are designed for business owners, HR professionals, line managers, in-house lawyers and finance team members seeking an understanding of, or an update on, specific selected areas.  All of our courses have a very practical focus, drawing on our many years of experience of advising both employers and employees.
