There has been an increasing trend in the number of cases of alleged misconduct in employment at all levels within organisations and an associated increase in the number of “grievances.”
External/independent consultancy support can be extremely helpful to clients particularly if the allegations are at a senior level, management representatives are “conflicted” or there is insufficient in-house management resource/expertise. The key services available in this area are as follows:
- Conducting or assisting with investigations into alleged grievances/misconduct and the production of a management report detailing findings and recommendations
- Conducting or assisting with formal Disciplinary Hearings.
- Conducting or assisting with formal Appeal Hearings.
