Managing employees suspected or convicted of criminal offences

According to a recent Acas report, workplace conflict – a term used for any disagreement or dispute between employers and their employees – is costing UK employers £28.5 billion every year. That’s roughly £1,000 per employee.
Most workplace issues can often be resolved informally, provided organisations take action early. However, Acas suggests that it’s not uncommon for managers to struggle to deal with complex and challenging personal issues.
With this in mind, join us for expert advice on effective management so that you can maximise productivity and efficiency and prevent employee relations from becoming an expensive drain on your business.
Whether it relates to objections about the job itself or individuals just don’t get along, workplace conflict is bad for business.
While only 5% of employees who experienced conflict resigned as a result and just 9% took time off, 40% of those who remained at work reported being less motivated and more than half (56%) reported stress, anxiety and/or depression. This ‘presenteeism’ has a considerable impact on productivity and businesses’ bottom line.
In fact, according to Acas’ research, each of these grievances costs businesses an estimated £951 in management time. And if this escalates into a disciplinary, each case costs approximately £1,141.
In this free 40-minute session, we will explore the impact of workplace conflict on organisations, looking at preventative measures and the positive impact that becoming a wellbeing-centric organisation can have on reducing conflict within the workplace and the need for more formal procedures.
Co-hosted by Jane Hallas, solicitor and Head of Team at Ellis Whittam, and Donna Gibb, Head of HR Commercial & ER Lead at Law At Work, this session will cover:
