HR Masterclass

Managing issues at work can come to your attention in many ways, from customer/client feedback, grievances or it may be that underperformance or misconduct has occurred, it can at times be difficult to address in the workplace and how best to stop them from reoccurring in the future.

The first priority to establish the facts and carry out a thorough investigation. Employment law cases are similar in many ways to criminal cases, the investigation is a key part of the overall process. In the case of a flawed police investigation it can lead to a case being thrown out of court or a defendant walking free, inadequate investigations in the workplace can undermine disciplinary processes. This may mean that the investigation needs to be dropped, or in the worst-case scenario, employers may unfairly dismiss an employee and be at risk of a tribunal claim.
