D32 Expert Webinar: Managing Performance Without Ending Up in Fair Work- Tue, 18 Aug

Managing performance issues is one of the most challenging responsibilities for any leader and one of the most avoided. But avoidance rarely makes things easier. It usually makes them riskier. In this 30-minute practical session, HR expert Elisia Coetzee will walk you through how to manage performance concerns early, fairly, and confidently - without the legal jargon, without over-engineered processes, and without ending up in Fair Work. Designed for business owners, managers, and anyone who leads people, this session will give you the clarity and confidence to act before small issues become big problems. KEY LEARNINGS 1. Know the difference and why it matters. Performance, conduct, and capacity are not the same thing. Treating them interchangeably is one of the most common mistakes leaders make and one of the most costly. You'll leave knowing how to identify what you're actually dealing with, so you can respond the right way. 2. Spot the mistakes that quietly increase your risk. Delaying the conversation, being vague to avoid discomfort, skipping follow-up, these patterns are common, and they're fixable. You'll learn what good performance management actually looks like in practice, without needing complex systems or formal processes. 3. Act early, act fairly, protect your business. Early, proportionate action is almost always the safest approach. You'll walk away with a clear, practical framework for starting performance conversations with confidence - and keeping your business on the right side of Fair Work.
