How to Keep a Clear Record During a Workplace Dispute

If you're involved in a workplace dispute, keeping accurate, organised records can be critically important.

One of the most effective ways to do this is by setting up a separate Gmail account—something like yournameworkplaceissue@gmail.com. Use this dedicated account to:

• Email yourself notes and updates on what has happened, including dates, times, people involved, and any relevant details
• BCC this account when sending formal communications, such as grievance referrals or follow-up emails

Why this helps:

1. It keeps your dispute-related records separate from your personal and work emails
2. Each email is automatically time and date stamped, providing a contemporaneous record that is more reliable than a handwritten diary

This simple approach helps ensure you have a well-organised and credible record if the matter progresses further.
