Yesterday, Globis held the first in a series of Webinars designed to help HR functions and organisations prepare for a major change in employment legislation. Globis is the first accredited workplace mediation provider to undertake this initiative.

In April 2009, the statutory (Oct 2004) grievance procedures will be repealed. As part of the Gibbons review, organisations are being encouraged to seek the early resolution of workplace disputes which will save hundreds of thousands of pounds. One of the main tools that organisations are being encouraged to use is workplace mediation.

Former HR Director and Globis founder and MD Clive Lewis, led the session and was joined by co-presenter Armelle Bailey from the Department for business. Just under 100 organisations registered for the session.

The free 40 minute session used latest Web based technology to brief HR professionals and line managers – from the comfort of their own desks- on impending changes and suggested ways in which organisations could prepare.

One delegate commented ” I am now a big fan of Webinars! It was excellent and the most effective use of viewers’ time”.

Clive Lewis stated ” I am delighted that once again, Globis is leading the field in helping organisations incorporate workplace mediation and build better relationships at work. We are aware of the pressures on people’s time so utilised technology to maximize learning and productivity”.
