Disciplinary meetings are often difficult for everyone involved, and the mindsets participants bring to the room can significantly impact how the discussion unfolds.
This HR Daily Premium Q&A takes a sidestep from the legal and procedural aspects of disciplinary action to focus on the human side of these conversations.
The Change Company director Dr Paul Donovan and HR Daily editor Jo Knox will discuss topics including:
- how HR and managers should approach disciplinary conversations;
- preparing mentally before going into a meeting;
- creating an environment of psychological safety;
- improving perceptions of procedural fairness;
- listening effectively when an employee responds;
- managing high emotions and challenging moments; and
- keeping the conversation constructive and focused.
This Q&A is the fifth in our series taking an in-depth look at individual stages of disciplinary processes. View the first episodes and topics still to come here.
Watching this Q&A counts as 0.5 CPD hours.
