Overview

Badly worded documentation and suspiciously timed administration are at a minimum problematic and at worst, hard to justify in employment claims. Inconsistent documentation, which may be just bad management practices, can cause employment claims from suspicious employees. Considering that writing ill-suited documentation and administering inconsistent discipline is generally carried out by managers who practice a host of other bad management habits; taken together the factors create a situation akin to a compliance powder keg waiting to explode.

Why you should Attend

The absence of solid documentation is the single most common mistake employers make when handling employee performance, behavior, and discipline issues. Not properly documenting, or not documenting at all, can hurt employers in several ways. Documentation can make or break a manager's ability to discipline, terminate, fairly promote, reward, and recognize employees.

From a business perspective, training management employees on how to write documentation and how to use the tools of employee development are undoubtedly the easiest and cheapest things an employer can do to stave off unwarranted employment claims and avoid losing valuable employees.

From an HR perspective, training managers on the basics of HR compliance can help to defend against a whole host of unwarranted employment claims, including those that often begin from miscommunication, misinformation, and mismanagement.

This webinar will assist you in understanding what to do and not do when documenting an employee's performance. Termination is one of the most difficult things a manager must do and that is why managers give leniency on performance. Documentation of the employee's performance is critical and can make the difference between a defense verdict and a large jury award.
