We started working with a new client this week – a private-sector company with 9 employees.
They had an employee who had been there a year and just wasn’t performing despite being spoken to, offered training and so on and so forth.
We asked the critical questions, checked that the employee had no protected characteristics, and then let them know they could dismiss them.
Turns out we weren’t the only HR provider they’d spoken to about this issue.
They were in contract with a national HR provider and they’d given them very different advice:
3-month performance review, and then make a decision.
