Managing Misconduct & Employee Mental Health - How to Strike the Right Balance

Introduction

An employee’s mental health condition can impact how they behave, and how they interact with other colleagues or customers.

For this reason, it is important for managers and HR professionals to be aware of how to best balance obligations to support employees’ mental health, but also feel confident in continuing to properly explore consequences for unacceptable behaviour.

This webinar will discuss the importance of supporting your employees and their mental health, thereby ensuring you meet your legal obligation to provide a safe working environment and avoid damaging discrimination claims should you get it wrong.
