ACAS Early Conciliation

In our Summer newsletter, we talked about ACAS Early Conciliation. As a result of this, we are finding that solicitors are becoming involved at an earlier stage in the dispute process, advising employees in respect of this Early Conciliation stage. We are delighted to now offer a FREE one hour training session for HR advisors, dealing with Early Conciliation and matters such as how to cope with solicitors' letters and their often unmanageable deadlines. We can give you the inside scoop, advising you on the various tactics employed by solicitors and how to deal with them. For more information, contact Emma Naughton.
