Managing Complex and Tactical Grievances | Practical strategies for employers
Workplace grievances are becoming increasingly difficult for employers to navigate.
From tactical complaints raised during disciplinary processes to AI-drafted submissions and escalating discrimination allegations, organisations are facing more complex employee relations challenges than ever before.
Join us for this free, in-person session in Bath to gain practical advice on the changing nature of workplace complaints, common employer challenges, and the practical and legal considerations organisations should be aware of when managing difficult grievance situations.
Poorly handled grievances can quickly escalate into wider employee relations, operational and legal challenges. What begins as a concern raised by an individual employee can lead to workplace conflict, reduced trust, lower productivity and, in some cases, formal complaints or legal claims.
As workplace complaints become increasingly complex and emotionally charged, employers must balance fairness and consistency with the need to manage organisational risk.
During this interactive, in-person session, Employment Law Adviser, Patrick Carroll-Fogg will share clear, practical guidance to help you prevent and manage complex and tactical grievances with confidence.
You'll leave with a clearer understanding of:
How to identify the common causes of grievances
How to address and manage complex grievances
The processes and protections needed to manage risk and remain compliant
How to support employees confidently and consistently
What's on the agenda?
The risk factors that lead to grievances: How grievances are becoming more tactical and legally complex.

Got a question?
