Typical Use Cases

Addressing Poor Performance

An employee is not meeting expectations and managers need a structured process that is fair, documented and compliant.

Managing Misconduct

A workplace conduct issue requires formal assessment, investigation or disciplinary action.

Responding to a Grievance

An employee has raised a complaint and the organisation needs an independent, consistent and well-documented process.

Supporting Inexperienced Managers

Managers require experienced HR support to conduct difficult conversations and follow the correct procedures.

Considering Termination

The organisation is assessing whether employment should be terminated and requires the process to be carefully managed.
