The Cost of Disgruntled Employees — When to Sensibly Settle

Venue | In person – BAL Lawyers, Canberra House, Level 9/40 Marcus Clarke Street, Canberra
Presenter | Rebecca Richardson, Senior Associate
Cost | Complimentary
Workplace disputes can quickly escalate into costly and time-consuming litigation if not handled effectively at the outset. This session is designed to assist HR practitioners in the early assessment and management of employment disputes. We’ll explore the hidden and direct costs of responding to unresolved grievances—from lost productivity and team morale to legal fees and reputational damage. Attendees will gain practical insights into identifying when, why, and how a matter should be resolved early and the key risk factors to consider in deciding whether to settle or proceed further.
