When does it take place? Wednesday 23 April 2008 did you know?
- In a recent survey, only 4% of public sector managers said that under-performance
was handled "very well" in their organisations compared to 22% in the private
sector.
- Poor performance manifests itself in many ways such as a worker who is slow,
inflexible, consistently misses deadlines or, although efficient, finds it difficult to
maintain good working relationships with colleagues and clients.
- The effects of poor performance can be widespread, impacting on the productivity
of the company as a whole as well as the morale and efficiency of other staff who
bear the brunt of a fellow worker's under-performance.
- Failure to deal correctly with poor performance which results in dismissal can leave
employers open to tribunal claims. As of 1 February, the maximum compensatory
award for unfair dismissal has been increased to £63,000, but if the dismissal is
tainted by discrimination then there is no limit on the amount of compensation that
can be awarded. The cost to employers of defending a tribunal claim has recently
been estimated at £9,000.
want to know more... Then attend our Practical Briefing which will start with registration and breakfast at
8.30 a.m. The Briefing itself commences at 9.00 a.m. and ends at 11.00 a.m. when
the presenters will be available should you wish to discuss any of the issues covered in
more detail over coffee. The Briefing will follow an interactive format, with light-hearted role plays by the
Employment Team, in order to identify and avoid the pitfalls when dealing with poor
performance in the workplace. You will get practical tips on the steps that you can take
to avoid poor performance in the first place, what you can do when it does happen and
how you can minimise the risk of tribunal claims where the only solution is dismissal of
the employee concerned. Take this opportunity to learn from the mistakes of others:
as Eleanor Roosevelt said, "you can't live long enough to make them all yourself!" Who should attend?
