When it’s a disciplinary case, it’s usually obvious — someone’s crossed a clear line.

But a grievance? That’s trickier. Managers are often left wondering:

💭 Is this a genuine concern that needs investigating?
💭 Or is the employee just having “one of those days”?

Knowing the difference — and handling it well — can make or break trust in your team. Here's our guide to what's what: https://www.10to3.co.uk/2025/05/do-your-managers-know-the-difference-between-a-grievance-or-a-gripe/

Dealing with a grievance can be a tricky path for managers. A disciplinary situation is pretty clear when you see one, someone has done something they shouldn’t, but often with […]

Giving your managers an understanding of the overall context of a performance improvement plan is a surefire way to support them (and their teams) in achieving their performance management goals.

In this on-demand webinar we take a deeper dive into one of our most popular 10to3 videos ‘the performance management journey’.

We apply the video to the thorny issue of managing an employee with an attitude problem – looking at the specific challenges this presents for HR professionals and managers.

How do you define bullying?

You might be surprised to know that there is no legal definition of bullying. This is because you cant bring a bullying claim in an Employment Tribunal, and the legal system doesn’t have to define something that it doesn’t have to decide.

So employers and managers are left to work out what ‘the B word’ actually means. And there are so many grey areas to navigate here, because bullying is legitimately something that people could see differently.

Our video ‘How to tell when performance management is not bullying’ uses a technique we call the ‘4M’s’ and it’s a great way to help our managers navigate these grey seas.

We start by helping managers understand why big reactions may happen (clip below) and work through to how managers can appeal to employees logical side of their brain.

When we have a list of questions set out in front of us, we feel duty bound to follow them and that’s where managers can come unstuck during ER processes. Share this structure with them for their next return to work conversation. It is proven to turn awkwardness into a comfortable and constructive conversations by:

🟣 Putting the questions asked into context and as a result making them feel less intrusive.
🟣 Putting the emphasis on the constructive nature of the meeting by focusing on the ‘welcome back’.
🟣 Helping to set a clear plan for the next steps.

Following the Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Act, which came into force in October 2024, employers now have a proactive duty to prevent sexual harassment. That means this topic moves from ‘nice to have’ to non-negotiable.

Often met with rolling eyes or echo’s of ‘PC gone mad’ – it’s more important than ever to ensure your workforce are championing a respectful culture.

We believe that by focussing your employee relations training to this area, HR professionals can spearhead a genuine empowerment and ownership on your whole workforce to call out harassment.

The essentials? Make sure employees know they will be listened to, and issues will be dealt with quickly. It’s a dangerous game if they feel the opposite.

Our dignity and respect collection of videos is jam packed with techniques that your managers can use to do things like:

🟣 Still have fun at work
🟣 How to effectively call out harassment
🟣 What to do when something makes them feel uncomfortable at work
🟣 How to ask if someone is okay (without backing them into a corner)

Lots of our clients use this suite of videos to bring to life their dignity and respect training programmes, giving managers the support they need following on from a face-to-face workshop.
