HR 105 - Employee Relations - Disciplinary Actions

What happens when an employee’s performance or behavior negatively impacts an organization’s effectiveness?  Discipline is the process to help correct these deficiencies.  We will learn how to address an employee’s failure to perform or comply with the policies and procedures in your employee handbook.  We will discuss the types of disciplinary action, how to make an initial assessment of any employee issue and develop a game plan to encourage the employee to change their attitude or performance, or provide sufficient document to support a termination for cause.  This course can be assigned to supervisors who need coaching on how to manage their responsibilities in the performance review process.

Duration:  60minutes
