What do you do when an employee keeps missing targets, clashes with teammates, ignores policies, or pushes back against management?

For many workplaces, one difficult employee can disrupt team dynamics, slow productivity, and create unnecessary risk. But knowing whether you’re dealing with a performance problem or a misconduct issue and understanding the correct process to follow—can be surprisingly complex.

In this exclusive webinar for business owners and employers, we’ll guide you through the grey areas of staff management. You’ll learn how to distinguish between poor performance and misconduct, and what steps you can take to address issues safely and fairly.

In just 60 minutes:

  • Unpack Staff Issues: Understand the difference between performance concerns and misconduct, with a clear, practical framework you can use immediately
  • Take Action with Confidence: Learn when to use performance improvement plans, when disciplinary action is appropriate, and how to apply procedural fairness consistently
  • Protect Your Business: Minimise risk by following the right steps, documenting conversations properly, and avoiding costly disputes or escalation

Take the opportunity to ask your questions during the live Q&A, so you can come away with tailored guidance for your business.

Please note that this is general information and not intended to replace legal advice under any circumstances.
