Personal Grievances are avoidable

On my walk this morning I was thinking about personal grievances or PG's for short. PG's come about through not knowing the law and though quick unthoughtout actions.

The emotional cost to a business owner or manager is huge and adds to an already stressed person. On top of this is the lost time and the $$$$$.

A single personal grievance is likely to cost you a minimum of $2500!(if you are lucky) On top of this there is the time to prove your case - written and verbal recall. Then there is the lack of sleep which increases stress levels.

The thing is PG's are avoidable. They don't need to happen if you know how to deal with employees.

Just look at what is happening in the ACT party now. We have a tit for tat war. You hurt my feelings now I am going to hurt yours. This is Parent/Child behaviour.

Adult/Adult behaviour is the only way. It is about knowing what to do and not allowing emotions to get in the way.
