Concrew Training seen a significant increase in interest in our one-day training workshops on disciplinary and grievance procedures. The increased demand for #training in grievance and disciplinary procedures is clearly being driven by the abolition of tribunal fees, we are told the number of employment tribunal hearings is up some 75% on November 2017 and there is now something like a 6 month backlog. No company or #HR manager wants to have to go to a tribunal hearing and even fewer, if that's possible, want to have a tribunal hearing pending for 6 months.   Training managers and staff clearly helps ensure good practice is followed which is turn helps prevent matters escalating to tribunal level. Further in the event that matters do escalate being able to evidence staff training and compliance with good practice is highly advantageous.
