Managing incapacity: poor performance

Addressing poor performance requires a careful, structured process. This workshop clarifies exactly when and how to formalise the incapacity process, from effective counselling and managing probation through to instituting a fair and compliant poor performance procedure. Delegates will learn to distinguish performance management from a formal incapacity process and understand the substantive and procedural fairness requirements that underpin every step. Through a collaborative, practical approach, delegates will gain the tools to address underperformance in a way that is effective, supportive, structured and legally sound.
