Managing employee relations challenges

When staff difficulties arise, having professional support ensures matters are addressed promptly, lawfully, and in line with ACAS codes of practice. I help you handle issues fairly while protecting your business.

Disciplinaries & misconduct

Guidance through conduct issues, drafting notification letters, preparing meeting agendas, and supporting fair, reasonable decision-making.

Grievances & conflict

Impartial handling of employee complaints, structured grievance hearings, mediation techniques, and practical resolution strategies.

Absence & performance

Procedures for managing persistent sickness, long-term ill health, capability reviews, and clear performance improvement plans.

A calm, methodical approach to workplace issues

I start by understanding exactly what has happened, reviewing the evidence, and identifying the correct HR route. You get clear, step-by-step guidance, bespoke paperwork, and seasoned advice to resolve issues with minimal disruption.

Fair, thorough workplace investigations

Complex employee grievances or allegations of gross misconduct require thorough, objective fact-finding. I assist by drafting interview questions, conducting formal witness interviews, reviewing evidence, and producing comprehensive investigation reports to help you decide on appropriate next steps.

Flexible support, remote or in Cornwall

Most support is delivered seamlessly nationwide via telephone, email, and Microsoft Teams. For businesses based in Cornwall, I also provide on-site support for formal hearings, consultations, and complex meetings where an in-person presence makes all the difference.
