Too many organisations exercise the practice of "throwing people at a problem", rather than considering whether that amounts to "optimised people resource allocation", a corporate strategist says.
Failing to update workplace policies was a "significant dereliction" of a manager's duty, but his employer's investigation flaws made his dismissal harsh, the Fair Work Commission has ruled.
Instead of accepting an underperforming employee's "gracious" resignation, an employer immediately and unfairly dismissed him for serious misconduct, the Fair Work Commission has ruled.
