Workplace issues pose a number of unique challenges to businesses of all sizes. From day-to-day employee management to specific problems such as absenteeism or situations that result in firing an employee, employers are often required to take a specific action
Resolving workplace issues
Problem employees can result in a range of challenges in the workplace, including absenteeism, low employee morale and in some cases, even the need to fire an employee.
Employee dismissal and other problems of this nature can be incredibly sensitive, but knowing what action to take and the right processes to go through can help to ease your worries.
In some cases, the employer will need to engage in a conversation with the employee or employees with the issue.
ER Strategies’ advisory services can help you effectively navigate the sometimes-complicated world of workplace issues and ensure you follow processes that minimise your risks and achieve a fair outcome for all parties.

Preventing workplace issues
One of the best ways to prevent workplace issues from arising in the first place is to have the right policies and procedures in order from day one. This can be done by having clear employment contracts, a staff handbook, and company policies and procedures that outline the rights and responsibilities of the employee. Employee induction processes are also critical in ensuring the employee has an understanding of the workplace and is comfortable with how the workplace operates.
You can prevent workplace issues by things such as promoting open communication, encouraging diversity and inclusion, and providing regular training on conflict resolution and effective communication.
