With the party season around the corner, this free session will help to ensure your festive season is trouble free.
Work parties are a fun way to reward staff and celebrate the end of another year. But sometimes the ‘silly’ season can quickly head south. Getting people together away from their normal workspace — particularly if you add alcohol to the mix — can be a recipe for trouble if you're not careful. And when staff behave badly, parties can turn into a legal nightmare for employers.
Senior Associate Sam Cahill, from Australian Business Lawyers & Advisors, will explain what can go wrong, how to reduce risks and what to do if employees misbehave.
In this session, you’ll learn:
• the essential policies your business needs
• how to avoid incidents occurring
• what can and cannot be enforced by employers at offsite events
• what to do when things don't work out
• how to handle disciplinary issues associated with misconduct, including dismissals.
