Most people show up to work wanting to do a good job, but sometimes, managers and business owners need to firmly and clearly address unacceptable employee performance or behaviour. This might involve issuing the person with a formal warning, final warning, or (in serious circumstances) dismissing the employee and ending their employment.

But what’s the right situation to start a disciplinary? What are the dos and don’ts? How do you raise it with the employee? How long does the process take?

In this insightful webinar, MyHR's resident HR guru, Sylvie, explains how to run a robust disciplinary process and make sure you’re meeting all your legal obligations as an employer. She also shares expert tips so that you'll be able to handle performance and behavioural challenges with confidence and clarity.
