Difficult Conversations and Disciplinary Training
Delivered across EMEA
Training Overview
This training programme equips managers with structured communication frameworks to address underperformance, conduct formal disciplinary hearings, and document corrective actions with total legal clarity and professional empathy.
Key Executive Learning Outcomes:
- Mitigate Legal & Employment Risks: Train managers to execute legally compliant disciplinary processes and thorough documentation to protect against wrongful dismissal claims.
- Eliminate Manager Avoidance: Equip leaders with objective frameworks to address poor performance and behavioral issues early before they escalate.
- Maintain Team Morale & Standards: Prevent high-performer frustration by taking decisive, fair action with non-compliant or underperforming team members.
- Standardize HR & Manager Alignment: Establish consistent procedures across departments for performance improvement plans (PIPs) and progressive discipline.

Our programmes are built to move
Behavioural training earns its place only when it shifts the measures an organisation already tracks. The figures below are the outcomes for one of our programmes.

Before you enquire
Questions organisations raise
How do we know this will actually change behaviour, not just fill a training day?
We run a pre/post diagnostic against measures you already track — retention, engagement and decision speed, with a follow-up at 90 days.
What does the price include?
Facilitation, all delegate materials, CPD certification, and a pre-session context briefing with your team. Priced per group up to 20 delegates.
Can you tailor it to our sector and cohort?
Yes. We brief with you first and rebuild the scenarios around your mandate, markets and seniority mix. Public-sector delegations and multinational teams get different case material.
We can't release the team for a full day. What are the options?
A 3.5-hour half-day covers one framework module, or we split delivery across sessions. Self-paced online is available for teams who need to work around the diary entirely.
Do you deliver outside the UK?
Yes — across EMEA, including Gulf markets, on site or hybrid. We also host institutional learning journeys in London for visiting delegations.
What happens after we enquire?
You will hear from a programme director within one working day. We will ask about your cohort and mandate, then return a tailored proposal with dates and costs. No obligation.
