From performance to absence, behaviours and grievances, policy changes and contracts, workplace disputes come in all shapes and sizes.
This event will cover the options available to employers and explore practical steps organisations can put in place to help prevent workplace disputes from happening in the first place.
Business Need
Disputes can happen in any workplace. They can impact employee morale, motivation and productivity and lead to an increase in absence and staff turnover.
Poorly handled processes and mistakes can lead to unnecessary and costly Employment Tribunal cases, with the estimated cost to employers of defending a claim at employment tribunal now around £10,000. Losing a claim may cost significantly more.
This event will provide an in-depth look at dispute resolution options and dispute prevention approaches, drawing on decades of Acas experience in resolving disputes and expert speakers with real-world evidence of approaches that work.
We will also cover one of the most common disputes and Employment Tribunal claims – Unfair Dismissal.
