WHAT IS THE RESOLUTION FRAMEWORK™?

TCM's groundbreaking Resolution Framework™ was published by David Liddle in 2013. The Resolution Framework™ offers organizations a fully integrated and legally compliant alternative to traditional grievance, discipline and performance management procedures. We have coined the term integrated people policy (IPP) to describe this new approach. The Resolution Framework™ is being used to support our customers, from across the globe, to develop a fair, just, inclusive, sustainable and high performing culture - a transformational culture.

WELCOME TO THE RESOLUTION REVOLUTION.

TCM's Resolution Framework™ (and its predecessor The Resolution Policy™) has won numerous accolades and awards (and a lot of fans). It has featured in several HR and management journals as an exemplar of best practice. Recent awards where we have been finalists and winners include the Personnel Today Awards, CIPD People Management Awards, HR Excellence Awards and The National Mediation Awards.

THE ALTERNATIVE DISCIPLINE AND GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE

The Resolution Framework™ offers people professionals (HR), managers and leaders an innovative solution to complex, stressful and often costly workplace issues. Whilst the emphasis is on early resolution - through dialogue and restorative processes such as mediation - the Resolution Framework™ also delivers a robust approach for managing cases through formal means when required.
