Successfully Managing Disciplinary and Dismissals Procedures for Line Managers In-house Training

Course overview

Dismissing an employee is never pleasant, but unfortunately it is something that many managers will need to face at some time in their career. Are you up to date with the latest best practice and procedures?

It is essential to approach dismissals correctly and for managers to handle these sensitive issues professionally, legally and consistently to avoid a successful unfair dismissal claim.

For a dismissal to be fair there must be a fair procedure, a fair reason and the decision to dismiss must be within the range of reasonable responses. In this webinar we work through these three requirements.

The course explores what a fair procedure is and by referring to the Acas Code of Practice: Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures the expert trainer will explain what is required of the employer.

The programme then looks at the five potentially fair reasons for dismissal (we will not explore redundancy in detail in this webinar, given that it is a separate and specific procedure) and then ask what the ‘range of reasonable responses’ means.

Throughout the course the trainer will refer to cases that have come to the courts, looking at why they resulted in a fair or unfair dismissal decision. Referring to these real-life cases will help embed the learning.

There will also be plenty of time during the course to ask your questions of the expert trainer and get answers to your specific situations.

This training course is part of our collection of Leadership & Management Training Courses which focus on leadership, innovation, strategy, communication, finance, problem solving and conflict management, to name a few key areas.
