Employment Law and HR
|
Workplace investigations are the essential foundation to effective decision-making in your formal internal process. They can be challenging, stressful and help you defend any Employment Tribunal claim – if conducted professionally. As well as providing training on investigations, decisions and appeal, Scott undertakes workplace investigations when you need an independent expert investigator to gather evidence and present coherent conclusions as the basis to your decisions. |
Mediation is not a magic wand – but it might feel like it. It demands a delicate balance of questioning, facilitating and challenging without compromising the prospect of an agreed outcome. As well as providing training on how to mediate, Scott can conduct mediations for you when you need an independent expert mediator to help employees resolve challenges and disputes, ideally without the need to follow a formal investigation and decision procedure. |
