I manage a team, and have recently appointed a new deputy as I am now involved in more project work and so have a lot of time away rom main team / office. The team are having real issues with new deputy. They come to me upset that deputy is abrasive, micromanages them and is quite confrontational and abrupt. I think there are elements of a (work place) culture clash as deputy is new to the organisation. How should I handle this? No one wants to make anything formal, but how do I sensitively handle this? I worry I could be liable for constructive dismissal if I know of the problems, but haven't dealt with them and team members leave.
To be honest, I do have concerns that the behaviour could be boardering on bullying, but I'm just not around enough to witness it myself.
Where do I start?
