Webinar Managing Difficult Employee Situations

27th September – 16:00

If you have ever had to manage difficult employee situations, you will know how time-consuming, energy sapping and costly it can be.

With a corrosive effect on team morale, the disruption negatively impacts on your business. Worse still, it often leads to a poor outcome: a disciplinary, grievance, bullying and harassment claim or, at worse, excessive and additional cost, an Employment Tribunal with accusations of unfair dismissal or discrimination and the adverse Press interest that follows.

With 30 years’ experience and over 1,500 successful completed assignments, they specialise in ‘doing difficult’ and managing the most complex and complicated HR issues.

This webinar will provide a guide to those working in and advising businesses with practical insights on managing difficult individuals and reducing the stress on the business.

 

In this webinar, Mark Gammage, Managing Director of Dearden HR, and his director colleagues, Michelle Hodgkinson and Clare Conaghan, will provide practical advice on how to successfully manage even the most difficult of individuals.
