Employment Disputes
Introduction
"If you don't have some disputes with employees, you're not managing your organisation positively enough!
What's important is to manage the disputes well - to get the right balance on:
- management time
- fairness and observing your corporate values
- making good progress with employee issues
- the quantum of financial liability to the organisation
- reputation issues
- protection your organisation from unfair competition
- giving the right message to other employees
- keeping control over risks, costs and outcome.
Whilst 'slugging it out' in the courts and employment tribunals may sometimes be the right approach, this should only happen when it is part of the deliberate case strategy. Employers need to deploy a portfolio of solutions to disputes - and impending disputes - including negotiation, mediation, arbitration and simply investigating complaints before they become entrenched disputes."
