Text Content
- Establish an escalation process - provide a path for escalation if the dispute can't be resolved by discussion with the employee. It won't always be possible to escalate the dispute through senior management. If this is the case and you're unable to resolve the dispute, you could seek third-party assistance to help resolve the matter.
- Be consistent - consistency is a key aspect of a credible dispute resolution process. Employees need to know that the business will approach all disputes with the same organisational values and objectivity and that, wherever possible, disputes will be resolved by the same process.
- Be quick - prompt resolution of disputes is always desirable. It shows that the employer takes dispute resolution seriously. The longer unresolved disputes exist, the greater the chances of ongoing conflict or distractions in the workplace.
- Be transparent - employees must know what the process is, understand the steps and know what the potential outcomes are. A good dispute resolution process promotes fairness. If people feel they are fairly treated, then it is more likely that they will be engaged in their work and motivated to contribute. fairwork.gov.au | Fair Work Infoline: 13 13 94 | ABN: 43 884 188 232
