Whether you're dealing with ongoing performance concerns or responding to misconduct, employers are often required to make difficult decisions while balancing fairness, business needs and legal obligations.

While there may be a genuine reason to consider dismissal, it's often the steps taken beforehand that come under the spotlight if a dismissal is later challenged.

How concerns were raised, how expectations were set and how records were kept all play a critical role in the outcome.

Join our workplace relations experts for a practical webinar exploring how employers can navigate performance and misconduct matters with greater confidence, and what a fair and defensible dismissal process looks like in practice.

In just 60 minutes:

• Performance or Misconduct?: Understand the difference and why choosing the correct process matters
• Managing Poor Performance: Learn how to communicate concerns, set clear expectations and give employees a reasonable opportunity to improve
• Responding to Misconduct: Understand how to investigate allegations, establish the facts and give the employee an opportunity to respond
• Making a Defensible Decision: Learn how warnings, evidence, consistency and procedural fairness can affect the final outcome

You’ll also have the opportunity to ask your questions during the live Q&A and receive practical guidance from our experts.
