Prevent employment tribunals by introducing issue resolution into the process
I know from personal experience the vast majority of employment tribunals are avoidable. There are currently 49,800 backlogged cases and this is set to increase exponentially. I want the Government to step back and implement preventative and resolution measures, rather than recruiting more Judges.

Background
Most employment tribunals could have been resolved without litigation. They cost the tax payer a fortune and this money could be spent actually resolving issues.
The biggest cost (exacerbated by time) is stress. The tribunal process causes an unnecessary, unimaginable and avoidable impact on the mental health and wellbeing of hundreds of thousands of people.
This is a huge productivity opportunity for the UK which will form a foundation for future productivity worth billions of pounds.
