8 November 2011
The Professional Development Project of the Faculty of Law, in partnership with the
Institute of Labour Law and Development, UCT is pleased to present this one day
workshop on the labour law pertaining to Managing Employee Performance and

Managing poor performers and misconduct issues is a reality faced by every
employer. It is important that managers understand when to address such issues
and the various procedures that should be followed.
Failure to comprehend these issues can lead to time-consuming and potentially
costly encounters in bargaining councils or the CCMA.
This one day workshop is aimed at anyone who is involved with the management of
employees. It will give participants a sound understanding of the principles
applicable to dealing with poor performance and misconduct in the workplace at both
a theoretical and practical level.
The course will focus on:
