Top Tip no.3 Be fair and Just, eliminate favouritism.
Sometimes as a manager or employer we can't always see our role in the misconduct or grievance reported by an employee. Every situation has a cause and effect, an action and a reaction.
Unfair treatment or perceived injustice can be detrimental to an organisation. If two employees do the same action but only one is reprimanded for it and the other is not. Whether intentionally or not the employee that was addressed could harbour feelings of resentment and this usually manifests in one of 2 ways either they resign whilst tarnishing the reputation of your company, or they stay and make life difficult for others.
The result could be decreased productivity, increased absence, increased sick days, a change in attitude. Driving down company morale etc.
Always aim to be fair and just in how you deal with your employees, if you are unsure ask for a second opinion. Separate personal views of people from the facts of the situation.
