Chairing A Hearing
This half-day course is designed for senior managers and HR professionals who are required to chair disciplinary and appeal hearings.
The way in which disciplinary, and appeal, hearings are conducted is one of the most scrutinised processes during claims of unfair dismissal at Employment Tribunals. Figures released by the Ministry of Justice for the 2019 Financial year show that 90% of claims that were heard by an Employment Tribunal were successfully won by the complainant (employee).
These figures illustrate how important it is to conduct a fair and reasonable hearing and provide a proportionate response.
Objectives
This course will equip delegates with the background, knowledge and skills to feel confident and competent in chairing a hearing by covering:
- The importance of preparation prior to the hearing
- Planning and conducting the hearing process
- The review of documents and reaching a fair and reasonable outcome
- Delivering the outcome
A great session by Gary with a reminder about how to make sure your investigations meet fair and open requirements for a reasonable investigation. - Helen James, HR Manager at University of Southampton
