The effect of bullying and harassment in the workplace can lead to productivity decline, poor morale, and crippling tribunal penalties. One in five employees is affected.

Investigations into subsequent grievance/disciplinary allegations can be complex or time-consuming and when carried out internally, usually result in managers having to abandon core business activities or postpone key decisions.

EML provide an alternative solution that guarantees independence, professionalism, experience, and the ability to deliver expeditious business solutions.  Our third party perspective reduces the scope for accusations of bias.

• We seek to determine the origin of each allegation and in so doing, are able to advise clients on areas that have facilitated or exacerbated particular problems

• We originate robust policies and procedures aimed at helping improve working relationships

• We identify potential training needs of involved parties

• Should litigation arise, we provide a comprehensive Employment Tribunal advocacy service throughout the U.K.  This includes all aspects of case preparation, negotiation and representation through to the EAT.
