Panel: Managing conduct vs performance
This panel session exposes real-world scenarios where misclassifying issues or mishandling communications lead to employee claims, costly disputes, and regulatory action, showing HR leaders exactly how to act decisively to reduce risk.
Critical distinctions between conduct (behavioural breaches) vs performance (capability or output issues) and why mismanagement of either can trigger legal exposure.
Practical frameworks for early intervention, defensible investigations, and structured performance feedback to protect your organisation.
