Potential dismissal
If you’re facing a loss of confidence, disciplinary action, capability proceedings or redundancy risk, the stakes are high. We cut to the key issues quickly, challenge weak allegations, and make sure the process is handled properly, protecting both your position and your reputation, while working towards the outcome you want, whether that’s keeping your role or negotiating a dignified exit.
Being told the Board has lost confidence in you is not a phrase any executive wishes to hear.
We know that even senior leaders can face difficult times and the threat of dismissal. You may be subjected to disciplinary or capability (performance) procedures, or your role may be at risk of redundancy.
Facing formal dismissal procedures that could result in the termination of your employment is stressful. For senior executives, securing commensurate employment can be difficult and take time, plus the manner of your exit may impact on your reputation in the market making the search for a new role even harder.
When faced with such a situation, we will be able to cut to the key issues and address those in the strongest way for you; seeking to ensure any process is handled properly, your position is protected and your reputation remains intact.
We can assess the strength of any allegations against you, unpick the evidence provided, and give you an honest appraisal of your likely prosects.
In our experience, commencement of such dismissal procedures is likely to be ‘the beginning of the end’, and we can help secure and negotiate a suitable exit package for you.
There may be other protection you have that we can leverage, especially if you have submitted a grievance alleging discrimination or whistleblowing.
Ultimately, we look to achieve your desired outcome form the process you face while protecting your position.
