NEW EVENT


📅 Date: Wednesday, 26 August 2026
⏰ Time: 4.00PM - 6.00PM
📍 Venue: Brisbane Club, Suite 3/241 Adelaide Street, Brisbane QLD 4000

Join our first upcoming Future HR Leaders forum on Driving Fair Performance and Grievance Outcomes While Minimising Psychosocial Hazards, where we will unpack how to manage complex employee matters with both rigour and care. We will explore the critical processes required, including clear policy application, procedural fairness, timely and well‑documented investigations, and psychologically safe communication practices. The session will also highlight key considerations such as consistency, confidentiality, stakeholder management, and the need to actively assess and mitigate psychosocial risks throughout the process.

Handled poorly, performance and grievance matters can lead to significant legal exposure, reputational damage, disengagement, and increased risk of psychological harm claims. Accountability sits firmly with leaders, HR, and organisations collectively to ensure fair and compliant outcomes. Our expert panel brings a powerful, practical perspective, with a lawyer, investigator, HR professional and workplace consultant sharing insights on getting it right and navigating the real-world challenges that arise.
