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.

WHAT IS THE RESOLUTION FRAMEWORK™?

TCM's groundbreaking Resolution Framework™ offers organizations a fully integrated and legally compliant alternative to traditional grievance, discipline and performance management procedures. It is being used to support organizations to develop a fair, just, inclusive, sustainable and high performing culture - a transformational culture.

THE ALTERNATIVE GRIEVANCE AND DISCIPLINARY 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.

A PERSON CENTRED AND FULLY INTEGRATED HR POLICY

The Resolution Framework™ is fully compliant with the Acas code on discipline and grievance. Furthermore, it meets all legal requirements with regard to Employment Rights Act 1996 (and all subsequent Acts). The Resolution Framework also meet and exceed all requirement set out in the Equality Act (2010).

SETTING THE STANDARD IN EMPLOYEE RELATIONS (ER)

TCM's Resolution Framework™ is being adopted as the benchmark standards in human resources and employee relations. Organizations as diverse as Aviva, HSBC, the BBC, TSB, OS, The University of Bath, Burberry, Next PLC, Nats, Virgin Atlantic, EasyJet and numerous Government bodies, local authorities, police forces, hospitals, universities and not for profit organisations have worked with TCM to integrate our Resolution Framework™
