Gavin Goffe, Partner with Myers, Fletcher & Gordon (MF&G), makes a presentation at the recently held Wednesday Morning Seminar, hosted by MF&G and Jamaica Chamber of Commerce.
Human resources managers and business professionals attended the seminar, under the theme “Disciplinary Policies 101”, to better equip their institutions in efforts to deter misconduct, but more importantly save money, and protect the organisation and its workers.
Goffe framed hallmarks for a strong disciplinary policy, which he said should be written, tailored to the specific organisation, revised in keeping with changes, available to workers, and lawful. He also said that the policy should include definitions, timelines as to when complaints, investigations, charges and hearings should be done.
