There are many proactive steps that can be taken to promote claim avoidance. Training for managers can be invaluable so that managers can spot the warning signs of employment law issues at the earliest possible stage. Where managers understand the importance of involving Human Resources teams quickly, claim avoidance can be achieved.
Being alert to employment issues before they escalate is the key. If an employee appears to be disgruntled, you may wish to take the initiative of investigating the matter and going down a grievance route with a view to resolving matters early.
Ensuring that there is a thorough paper trail documenting processes followed and discussions at meetings is also an important part of claim avoidance. We can assist with drafting the relevant documentation which offers your business the best possible protection against legal risk.
