Appeal Chair

Our expertise extends to serving as an independent appeal chair following any internal processes your organisation may have followed.

Once you have completed certain internal processes, such as, disciplinary, redundancies, instances of poor performance (capability), or any grievances you should offer the employee the right to appeal. 

In situations where your organisation lacks an available (or willing) individual to undertake the appeal, our experts are ready to step in. We can conduct a thorough and impartial appeal process to evaluate whether the original decision and the process or investigation leading to it were fair and reasonable.

Our approach to appeals typically involves a comprehensive re-hearing. This process often requires us to conduct our own independent investigation into the available evidence. Our aim is to ensure that the initial process was conducted correctly, taking into account and reviewing all relevant points and perspectives. This meticulous approach is crucial in determining the integrity of the original decision-making process.

Once we have collected and analysed all necessary information, we meticulously review the initial decision. This review includes meeting with the original decision-maker to discuss and assess the rationale and fairness of the outcome. Our assessment centres on whether the decision was fair, reasonable, and made in accordance with the applicable legal and ethical standards, in our opinion.

By engaging our services for appeal processes, your organisation can demonstrate its commitment to fairness and due process. This not only aids in maintaining a transparent and just workplace environment but also bolsters the trust and confidence of your employees in your organisation's internal procedures. Our role is to ensure that every appeal we handle is approached with the utmost objectivity, ensuring that the final decision is robust, fair, and aligns with best practice.
