When do you need Mentor

There may be an instance where you face problems with an employee or former employee who believes they have been treated unfairly. You could even be taken to an employment tribunal by someone you decide not to recruit.

In the year to March 2008 over 189,000* claims were accepted by the Employment Tribunals Service - an annual increase of 43%.

These included complaints of unfair dismissal, discrimination on grounds of race, sex, age, disability, religion and sexual orientation, unauthorised deduction of wages, breach of contract, redundancy pay and many more.

If you get it wrong the results can be extremely damaging for your organisation. Just think how much this could cost you, not forgetting the risk of reputational damage?
