The End of Quick-Fix Training Sessions. 💡   A recent FWC case highlights the risks of inadequate workplace training. An employee's termination for misconduct, involving explicit jokes and rude comments towards a colleague was ruled unfair. It was discovered that proper training and education around policies were not provided. This landmark decision adds to why organisations need to move past cursory training sessions.   Kirsten Hartmann, Principal IR Consultant, shares her insights in her analysis of the case:   💡Quick, snappy learning have their place, but they do not apply to serious workplace conduct situations. 💡 An employer's best defence is to engage in routine and comprehensive training for employees. 💡Training must be mandatory, documented, and positioned as fundamental to job performance.    #FairCompass #RecentFWCCase #UnfairDismissals #WorkplaceTraining

A valid reason for termination alone is insufficient. 💡 In a recent FWC case, a manager was terminated for misconduct. However, it was noted that no investigation was conducted, and the manager was not granted procedural fairness. Additionally, the Manager was not informed of the individuals who lodged complaints against them and was not provided with a proper opportunity to respond. John Brennan, CEO at iHR Australia offers a well-rounded commentary on this case. Here are some key takeaways from this case: 💡When faced with a compelling reason involving misconduct, a genuine process must be undertaken to make an informed decision. 💡The person alleged to have committed misconduct must be presented with the allegation and offered a chance to respond. 💡A reasonable time should be given to allow a respondent to consider their response. 💡Employers should consider opting for an independent investigation, conducted by unbiased experts.  #FairCompass #RecentFWCCase #UnfairDismissals
