Avoid costly claims by ensuring your performance management process stands up to scrutiny.

As managers, leaders and business owners we’ve all experienced that feeling of dread when we must address a performance management issue in the workplace.

Whilst we recognise the need to address the issue of poor performance, we need to ensure other staff aren’t negatively impacted and importantly that we handle the process correctly. Failure to do so could potentially result in a business defending a claim that has been lodged against them in the Fair Work Commission.

Performance management and termination of employment remain two of the most common issues our Business Advisory team provide advice to Business SA members and clients.
