Employers should ensure that their employment practices are legally compliant, Chris Weaver, employment partner at law firm Payne Hicks Beach, told HR magazine.
Weaver said: “Where employees raise concerns, these should be investigated promptly and fairly. Appropriate steps should be taken to address these before any develop into employment disputes.
“Having the appropriate structures in place and taking prompt action can save considerable cost for employers in the long run.”
