What would you do if an employee keeps missing targets, clashes with colleagues, ignores policies, or undermines managers?

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 help you navigate 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: Get guidance on improvement plans, disciplinary steps, and procedural fairness
  • Protect Your Business: Minimise risk and avoid costly disputes by following the right steps

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