Whether you have an internal disciplinary, grievance or appeal hearing; or need someone to represent your interests before ACAS or Employment Tribunals, we are here to help.
Workplace Hearings & Investigations
- Independent, professional handling of sensitive matters
- We regularly chair hearings, such as disciplinaries, grievances, appeals, or support the employer or manager to do it themselves.
- We provide comprehensive reports that will stand up to legal scrutiny and deliver outcomes directly to employees.
Protected Conversations & Settlement Agreements
Independent, professional handling of employee exits:
- We can support with high risk employee exits through undertaking “protected conversations” with your employee and look to negotiate a cost effective, and safe ending of the employment relationship.
- We can provide advice throughout, hold meetings on your behalf and liaise with the employee’s solicitor to look to get you the best outcome for the business.
Mediation
Resolve Workplace Conflict with Empathy and Structure. Workplace conflict can be disruptive but it doesn’t have to be damaging. Our mediation service provides a safe, structured space for open dialogue, helping to rebuild trust and restore working relationships.
Our approach can include:
- Facilitated conversations led by an experienced, neutral mediator followed by a written ‘charter’ or commitment agreed by all parties.
- Personality profiling to understand communication styles and underlying dynamics
- Follow-up support to ensure agreements are upheld and progress continues
By addressing issues early and constructively, we help prevent escalation, reduce stress, and create a healthier, more collaborative workplace.
ACAS Conciliation & Tribunals
- We can act as your representative through the ACAS Early Conciliation process, providing advice and representation in Employment Tribunal proceedings
- We provide a realistic assessment of the strength of claims and risks
