I have recently started disciplinary proceedings against one of my staff members as someone radioed a grievance upon them. During this period we have listened to an internal call between two staff members and one of them saying that the grievance person is a lazy c**T I did an investigation meeting and the invidual is a long standing member with exceptional records and work is top tier. The staff admitted and handed their hands up to what they have called the Individual and informed they have been struggling due to recent murder of their cousin. They informed higher management of poor mental health but nothing was followed up. What would you do

 

[Heyes]

What would I do?

Speak with my lawyer, and quick.

In the circumstances you describe, it's easy and likely to do something inappropriate which'll quickly get complex and expensive.

Speak to both of them individually and get the facts. I would be taking everything into account and I would be looking at smoothing things out and I would be documenting everything but maybe that's not modern enough for todays shenanigans
You say higher management . Is this your company or are you employed?

If your employed let someone else deal with it
If you are a business owner then @Newchodge on here will be able to give clear guidance

The member of staff referred it to their line manager rather than a team leader. Apologies!

the investigation was dealt with by myself as HR are on annual leave. They will be doing the disciplinary hearing.

I'd resolutely leave it to HR.
