Managing Employee Misconduct & Domestic Inquiry

Handle Workplace Misconduct Professionally, Fairly and Legally

Employee misconduct is one of the most sensitive and high risk challenges faced by organisations. Poorly handled disciplinary actions can lead to employee disputes, wrongful dismissal claims and costly Industrial Court cases.

This intensive 2-day training programme equips HR professionals, managers and business leaders with the practical knowledge to manage workplace misconduct and conduct Domestic Inquiries in a structured, fair and legally defensible manner.

Participants will gain a clear understanding of disciplinary procedures, investigation techniques and documentation practices aligned with Malaysian employment law and industrial relations standards .

Through real case discussions, role play simulations and practical exercises, this programme builds the confidence required to manage employee misconduct professionally while maintaining workplace fairness and organisational integrity.

Why This Training Matters

Handling employee misconduct requires more than policy enforcement. It requires structured process, legal awareness and procedural fairness.

Without proper disciplinary procedures, organisations may face:

  • Wrongful dismissal claims
  • Industrial Court disputes
  • Employee relations breakdown
  • Reputation damage
  • Legal and financial exposure

A properly conducted disciplinary process protects both the organisation and the employee.

This training strengthens:

  • HR disciplinary governance

  • Investigation and evidence handling capability

  • Procedural fairness in disciplinary action

  • Compliance with Malaysian labour law

  • Organisational credibility in employee relations

The goal is clear. Ensure disciplinary decisions are fair, defensible and legally compliant.
