Managing Difficult Employees in the Workplace: An Employment Law Power Pair

This Power Pair comprises 2 of our most popular employment law webinars from the past year.  Each recorded webinar is one hour in length.
 

Webinar 1: Effective Workplace Management of Underperforming Staff

Performance management is possibly one of the most challenging aspects of a HR professional’s role. Emotions often run hot, legal risks are high, and difficult but necessary conversations are sometimes avoided. Failure to get the process right can lead to significant issues down the track. This session will provide guidance to HR professionals for establishing a well-designed performance management process, including:

• Best practice performance management - key essentials for an optimum process
• Guidance for appropriate communications with the employee
• Establishing ways to evaluate individual performance and manage performance issues
• How have the elements of performance management changed as a result of work from home?
• Understanding the legal risks if handled poorly
• Lessons from recent cases

Webinar 2:  Shoot First Talk Later? Rethinking Workplace Dispute Management

Disputes between workers can often start as minor disagreements or be attributed to incompatible personalities but have the potential to escalate into claims of bullying or discriminatory treatment. This session will explore the benefits of early intervention strategies in workplace disputes and other available actions and remedies before the situation ends up in a compensation claim or legal dispute, including:

• One size doesn’t fit all – dispute resolution theory and generational expectations
• Dealing with aggressive, intimidatory and threatening behaviour
• Strategies for keeping disputes in-house and offline
• Using the staff code of conduct to outline expectation and processes
• Mediation and other resolution strategies – when to call in independent experts
• Managerial training in dispute recognition and management
• When is disciplinary action justifiable?
• Options when all else fails - legal and other ramifications
• Limiting the fall-out within the team
• The benefits of nipping disputes in the bud at an early stage
