Every employer and manager hopes that this is the one HR policy they never need to refer to, but misbehaving employees is a common and delicate workplace issue that must be handled correctly. For this reason, HR training and support for disciplinary action is critical
This Guardian Support disciplinary training course is designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills to handle these difficult workplace situations.
What is Disciplinary action?
If an employee acts inappropriately, or outside of their contractual obligations, such as being persistently late, acting aggressively towards another member of staff or stealing from the workplace, then you are within your rights to take disciplinary action.
This would mean starting a formal procedure in which you notify your employee of their unacceptable behaviour, which should be outlined in your written disciplinary policy. During the following formal disciplinary procedure, you will make the appropriate business decision, whilst following the legal expectations, which may ultimately result in dismissal.
For most businesses, this is done in-house, but some prefer to outsource their HR services with independent disciplinary advice taken, which could also be done through an HR advice line.
What does our Disciplinary Training Course offer?
Disciplinary action can be difficult for managers and HR departments to tackle for many reasons, including the rights that are in place to protect employees from being treated unfairly.
There are many intrinsic legal aspects to disciplinary procedures at work that must be clearly understood and implemented to run a just, compliant and productive business.
In this training session, we examine every aspect of staff discipline in a practical manner. Our disciplinary procedure training course delves into:
- The different types of discipline (conduct, absence and performance)
- Types of sanction
- The disciplinary process
- How to manage each stage
- The role of the accompanying person
- Suspension and gross misconduct
Course duration: 1/2 day
