Avoidable employee harm in disciplinary processes – with Kevin Teoh and Andrew Cooper
Listen now
Description
In this episode of the Psych Health and Safety podcast, Australian hosts Jason and Joelle chat with Kevin Teoh of Birkbeck University and Andrew Cooper of Aneurin Bevan University Health Board. They discuss the practice of applying disciplinary policies and processes and the sometimes unintended consequences on employee wellbeing. Kevin and Andrew detail new research on a 13-month ‘last resort’ intervention which aimed to reduce foreseeable harm to employees by reducing the number of formal investigations undertaken. They discuss the results from the programme, as well as key considerations for the general application of disciplinary policies, not only in healthcare organisations but further afield.
