Listen Later

In our latest episode of The Lawdown, Partners, Beth Hale and Emma Bartlett, and Associate, Gabrielle Lintott, discuss:

  1. Nestle’s recent dismissal of its chief executive for apparently failing to disclose a romantic relationship with an employee. We discuss the topic of workplace relationships and how they might be managed by employers in order to promote a safe and transparent workplace culture.
     
  2. Exec hauled over coals for sleeping in sauna wins tribunal case’. This headline grabber concerns a recent Employment Tribunal decision, Ms. S. Burns v Gitpod GMBH and others. We discuss the executive’s claims of sex discrimination, disability discrimination and a failure to make reasonable adjustments in the context of their dismissal shortly following an off-site work event. 
     
  3. Headlines that an Employment Tribunal’s ruling that the dismissal of an employee who called their boss a ‘dickhead’ was unlawful. We discuss the importance of acting reasonably as an employer and carefully considering whether an employee’s behaviour is sufficient to constitute gross misconduct, even where inappropriate behaviour may have arisen in the workplace. 
     
  4. Marie Tidball MP’s call to make the Parliament building more accessible to her and other disabled members of Parliament. We discuss the importance of considering where reasonable adjustments to premises and services in the workplace are required in order to prevent discrimination, remove barriers and promote access and inclusion.
