1-Day Practical Workshop for Line Managers, Supervisors and HR Officers
Every successful disciplinary hearing starts with a well-prepared case. This focused, practical workshop equips managers and HR practitioners with the skills and confidence to investigate misconduct, draft solid charges, and present a defensible case on behalf of the employer. Aligned with South African labour law, the course demystifies the role of the initiator, teaches evidence-gathering techniques, and shows how to handle witnesses and documentation professionally. Whether you're new to hearings or want to sharpen your approach, this course gives you the legal grounding and practical tools to protect your organisation and ensure a fair process for all.
Protect your company. Strengthen your case. Present with confidence.
The author of the course Michael Opperman, is also the author of two books called “A Practical Guide to Disciplinary Hearings” & “Investigating Misconduct and Incapacity.” Juta Law publishes both books.
