EMA Legal Webinar: The Legal Approach to Poor Performance

Poor performance can be one of the most challenging, issues for employers to address – and when not managed correctly, it can quickly escalate into a legal risk.

From performance improvement plans to formal disciplinary action, every step must be backed by clear policies, documented processes and a solid understanding of your legal obligations. Without these, even well-intentioned interventions can lead to personal grievances or claims of unjustified dismissal.

Join us for an expert-led webinar with EMA Head of Legal, Mauro Barsi, as we unpack the legal framework around performance management.

There will be plenty of time for live Q&A with Mauro. Whether you’re dealing with a current performance issue or reviewing your internal processes, this session will give you the legal clarity and practical tools to manage poor performance confidently – and get it done right.
