Course description
This online course provides the opportunity for you to explore, discuss and fully understand your legal and ethical responsibilities towards your employer and its people when facilitating or supporting grievance, disciplinary or dismissal procedures.
The course covers both addressing matters in the correct way from a legal perspective and doing so from an ethical and people-focused perspective. Therefore, enabling a principles-led approach to grievance, discipline, and dismissals to be confidently implemented.
This is not a programme about just ticking legal boxes; it is about supporting everyone involved to arrive at mutually satisfactory outcomes and is accordingly built on CIPD principles and values.
