Bring your work problem. Leave with a plan.
A live group strategy session with an HR strategist. Ask your question and get it answered on the spot — or just come and listen. No names needed. Yours or theirs.
Three stages. Three different games.
Every employment dispute moves through the same three rooms — and evidence plays a different role in each one. Knowing which room you're in is the strategy.
In employment
The door is still open. This is where everything gets built — your case, your paper trail, your position. What you gather here decides everything later.
ACAS
The negotiation room. Everything you built in stage one becomes leverage here. This stage is yours to play — if you arrive prepared.
Tribunal
Less strategy, more process. Follow the orders, respect the judge, present what you built. By now the work is mostly done — or it isn't.
Rules of the room
It's a busy room and it moves fast. The rules keep it useful for everyone.
- Camera on if you want to ask a question. Listeners can stay off.
- Hands up — the queue moves quickly, and it's first come, first served.
- No names. Not yours, not your employer's, not your manager's.
- You will get interrupted — it's not rude, it's how everyone gets a turn.
- If we run out of time, come back next session. It's free.
- This is strategy, not legal advice.
Who's in the room
A deliberate mix — that's what makes it work. Employees hear how HR thinks. HR hears what employees never tell them.
Employees
In the thick of it — a grievance, an investigation, a dismissal on the horizon. Bring the problem while there's still time to build.
Managers
Handling something difficult and getting no straight answers. Hear how it plays out from both sides of the table.
HR people
See the side of employment disputes your role never shows you. Previous HR guests called it mandatory viewing.
