Initiating a performance management process or PIP is a standard part of managing a team. However, it can quickly become complex when an employee responds by raising a claim of bullying or harassment.
The key is understanding the difference between legitimate performance management and behaviour that may amount to workplace bullying, responding appropriately when concerns are raised, and ensuring a fair and reasonable process for everyone involved.
Join us for this practical webinar where we'll explore how employers can confidently manage performance issues if a bullying claim emerges, while protecting their organisation, managers, and employees from unnecessary risk.
In just 60 minutes:
- Performance Management or Bullying? Understand where the line sits between legitimate performance management and behaviour that may give rise to bullying concerns
- When a Complaint Changes the Process: Learn what employers should do when a bullying allegation is raised during an active performance management process
- Common Employer Mistakes: Discover where businesses commonly get caught out, including assumptions, rushed responses and poorly documented conversations
