HR Grievance Checklist

During a recent HRHuddle LIVE session, we had the privilege of welcoming Keeley Baigent from ksabLAW (www.ksablaw.co.uk), who expertly guided us through a compelling mock grievance hearing. The session offered a rare opportunity to view the grievance process from all perspectives—employee, manager, and HR—and to observe how these situations unfold in real-time.

Why It Matters

Grievances often involve complex emotions and high stakes, making them some of the most delicate issues HR professionals face. In the moment, it can be difficult to know exactly what best practice looks like.

This practical checklist is here to support you—whether you’re about to navigate a live grievance or simply reflecting on the valuable insights shared during the session. It’s designed to help you:

• Approach grievance situations with structure and clarity
• Stay compliant with current legislation and internal policies
• Remain fair, balanced, and consistent throughout the process
• Build confidence in your ability to manage emotionally charged conversations
