AI-generated grievances: what every employer needs to know

You know the scenario: a relationship with a manager breaks down, performance issues bubble up, and suddenly HR is faced with a 20-plus page grievance covering years of complaints and more allegations than you'd expect. What approach should you take?

The challenges employers face

In this episode, we talk through the real issues this trend raises for employers, including:

• Why every grievance, however it was produced, still has to be taken seriously, and the legal risk in not doing so. 
• How employers can use AI themselves to help manage and respond to lengthy grievances, and the confidentiality and privilege pitfalls to watch out for when doing so. 
• The tricky question of what happens when an employee’s own use of AI risks exposing your organisation’s confidential information.
• Practical ways to define the scope of an investigation with the employee up front.
• Why a shorter, more focused approach can actually work in employers’ favour.
• Our top three tips for navigating this issue as it becomes more prevalent.
