Vexatious Grievances | spotting tactical and malicious claims
Grievances are becoming more tactical, more complex, and more likely to escalate into claims. Are you prepared?
For many HR professionals, grievances are no longer straight forward. From tactical complaints raised mid-disciplinary to AI-assisted grievances that are harder to challenge, the landscape is shifting quickly – increasing both workload and legal risk.
In this free 60-minute webinar, Daniel Rawcliffe, Associate breaks down the most challenging types of grievances, including unfounded, malicious, and tactical complaints, and looks at how they’re evolving in practice. We also explored how the growing use of AI is influencing employee behaviour and increasing both the volume and complexity of cases HR teams are dealing with.
Catch up on demand today for a practical insight to help you better understand, assess, and manage difficult grievances – while minimising legal risk.

Our ER team has significantly expanded its knowledge in terms of employment law since working with esphr, and we’re in a stronger position to deliver first-class support for our representations. A knowledgeable, commercially-minded and consistent point of contact at esphr is what has fostered such a positive learning environment, alongside the focused solicitor-led training.
Head of ER, Greene King PLC
The advice we used to receive was rarely commercial. Previously, we spent a lot of time, effort and budget on dealing with ER issues; now we don’t because we’re with esphr. The service has transformed the HR function and we are able to capitalise on the time saved to do the projects we knew would make a difference.

It is very rare to find someone who genuinely appreciates what we want to achieve and tailors a solution around that. Everyone at esphr is open and honest and wants to help make your working life better – this is the way all business relationships should be. I do not want to change supplier every few years.
HR Director (UK&I), Randstad UK
