Employer-Employee ‘protected converstations’

In a speech last week, Prime Minister David Cameron stated that the government will shortly consult on ‘protected conversations’, enabling an employer and employee to sit down and have frank conversations about performance / ongoing employment, without the employer fearing his words will be used against him a constructive dismissal claim. How this would operate in practice remains to be seen. As soon as we have any further news on this topical issue we will post it on this blog.
