As more staff work remotely, how your business deals with disciplinaries may need to be adapted, but it must still follow employment legislation. Our session will guide you in managing your disciplinary process fairly and address some of the challenges remote working presents.

About our speaker

Terry Duffy, Area Director

Terry is the new Acas Area Director for the North West. He has worked for Acas North West since 2002 and has significant experience in handling numerous high profile collective trade disputes between trade unions and employers to resolve workplace conflict.

Since joining Acas, Terry has helped to resolve potential employment tribunal claims and has also worked with businesses and trade unions to design and deliver training and help improve management practices across the region.

As the third most populous region in the UK, the North West is one of Acas's busiest areas. In 2019, Acas NW dealt with over 18,000 individual conciliation cases and around 90,000 calls to the helpline from the North West.

Improving work for everyone is a key ambition for Acas. Locally Acas NW helps to deliver this by working with local partners to develop and promote Good Employment Charters.

'My aim is continue to deliver Acas's brilliant services to businesses and employees in our region, improving on it and providing for the people and businesses that employ people in the North West'.
