The BPIF are running a one-day workshop at St Bride Foundation based on managing discipline and grievance. This certificated workshop is designed for line managers, supervisors and others with HR responsibilities. The change in legislation governing how employers and employees deal with discipline, dismissal and grievance issues – which came into force on 6 April 2009 – highlighted the need for managers to be trained in performance management and in particular the skills required to handle conflict at work.
