Managing conflict at work and dealing with formal disciplinary cases costs small businesses an average of 17 days in management time and nearly £3,000 in costs associated with employment tribunal claims each year [1]. So it makes sound business sense to ensure that disciplinary interviews are conducted sympathetically, professionally and within the law.
I’d Like a Word with You: The Discipline Interview provides a useful introduction to the techniques used when conducting a successful discipline interview. It will give managers new skills so that they can use the process to improve poor performance without damaging morale, causing unrest or falling foul of legislation.
