We are often called upon by both employers and employees to advise in situations where a departing employee has taken documents or confidential information belonging to their employer.
Sometimes this is completely innocent and there is no intention on the part of the employee to exploit the information, and in others it is taken with the intent to use in their new employment, either way this can be very worrying for employers.
In this episode 232 of the podcast I bring you a run down of the key things employers can do if they find themselves in a situation where confidential information has been taken and how to safeguard and prevent the loss in the first place. In this episode we cover:

We are often called upon by employers and managers to advise on situations where issues with performance arise with employees, and the manager/employer has reached the end of their patience with the individual.
We are also regularly asked by employers about how to manage employees who do not do what is required or are not up to standards.
Whilst we can advise and resolve issues using a formal performance management process it is much better to head off the issues at an early stage and avoid the formal process altogether. In this episode 230 of the podcast I bring you a run down of the key things you can do to set your employees up for success. In this episode of the podcast we cover:
