When an employee raises a discrimination concern during or after you've taken management action, a straightforward workplace issue can quickly become more complex.

What may have started as a performance concern, conduct matter or workplace discussion can suddenly raise questions about whether your actions were appropriate, lawful and fair.

Should you continue managing the original issue? Does the allegation need to be investigated separately? And how can you respond without losing sight of the legitimate workplace concern that started the process?

Join us for this practical 60-minute webinar to learn how to respond when management action is challenged as discrimination, while continuing to address legitimate workplace issues fairly and confidently.

In just 60 minutes:

• Understanding the Difference: Understand when legitimate workplace decisions may create discrimination risk and where employers can get caught out
• Continuing to Manage the Issue: Learn how to address genuine performance or conduct concerns when a discrimination allegation has been raised
• Responding to Allegations: Understand what to consider, whether a separate process may be required and how to avoid making the situation worse
• Supporting Your Decision: Explore how clear reasoning, consistency and reliable records can help reduce risk and support a defensible outcome
