Overview: 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 documented at all, can hurt employers and employees in several ways. Documentation can make or break a manager’s ability to discipline, terminate, fairly promote, reward, and recognize employees. Additionally, solid documentation will become an employer’s best friend when an employee brings discrimination or other employment-related claims against the organization.

Possessing a solid understanding of the do's and don’ts of documenting employee performance, discipline, and behavior is an essential tool for managers and supervisors because they need to make a serious effort to effectively record all events in the employment history of their employees - both positive and negative.

Overview: Managing employee performance is a critical role for all leaders, of any group, even volunteers and family members. Expected outcomes depend on the leader's ability to set clear performance expectations (outcomes) and in some situations help by defining methods or processes that are to be used. Periodically an employee may become disconnected from the outcome (goals), or processes and this situation must be quickly assessed, and action is taken.

To wait, defer, or "hope" it will get better is not an option as both the organization's performance and impact on co-workers start to take hold and can have a compounding negative impact. Addressing both technical ability and behavioral issues must be done expediently and with proper alignment to policy along with regulatory boundaries for such action.

The risk is real for doing it wrong, lawsuits and negative public relations, are two of the areas of concern. Having a leadership team that is well advised and consistently applies best practices and approaches to performance management is critical to long-term success.

Quotes:
  • "Terminations expose the employer to a significant risk of wrongful discharge; good preparation is your best defense"
  • "Most employers are either too eager to fire or too slow to terminate Our goal is to get it right"
  • "Terminations may be a business decision but it never seems that way to the employee being terminated"

Why you should Attend: In spite of good hiring and inspired leadership, all supervisors ultimately must deal with someone with Toxic Attitude Syndrome. Whether it's a crummy attitude, attendance, or just being unable to do good work; employee performance issues often consume large amounts of time, energy, and emotion.

In fact, 57% of employees have witnessed abusive or intimidating behavior, and probably 100% work with someone who isn't pulling their weight.

Areas Covered in the Session:
  • How to start off on the right foot by creating clear expectations
  • How poor performance effects organizational performance and work environments
  • How progressive discipline policies can hurt you
  • Why probationary periods may be a bad idea
  • What is employment-at-will and when can you use it?

Overview: Managing other people is never easy, but some employees make it particularly difficult. When an employee's negative attitude is not addressed properly, other team members become resentful, they lose respect for you as a leader, and they may develop their own negative attitude.

No leader wants a difficult or toxic employee on their team, however, it's something all leaders need to be prepared to address should it arise. Challenging employees can try a manager's patience and drain a lot of time and energy. Turning things around takes skillful management and patience.

How you and your team effectively deal with negative and difficult team members can mean the difference between having a toxic, drama-filled workplace, and an engaged, collaborative, and productive organization.

Under stress and surrounded by uncertainty, some members of our team become negative and resistant, and are simply more difficult to deal with. Successful leaders know that reducing the drama within their team depends on being able to understand and respond appropriately to their behaviors.

Learn successful strategies and tips for building a positive, productive workplace by knowing WHAT to focus on to move these interactions forward, HOW to effectively respond, and WAYS to manage the impact of their behavior. Identify challenges associated with managing difficult employees, control your own feelings effectively, and create a positive work environment. Quickly and effectively address, coach, and counsel employees with difficult attitudes in order to improve their behavior.

Why you should Attend: After this webinar, you will be able to identify challenges associated with supervising difficult employees, manage your own feelings effectively, create a positive work environment for all, respond positively to challenging employees, and treat them fairly. End frustration. Act rather than react, and ensure a respectful, effective, and collaborative team.

Areas Covered in the Session:
  • Develop an understanding for those exhibiting typical difficult attitudes in order to effectively meet their needs and move the interactions forward
  • Utilize various verbal and non-verbal communication techniques and situational strategies that you can use to de-escalate and effectively handle difficult people
  • Uncover the secret to moving difficult conversations forward
  • Utilize a Model for Conversations about Difficult Attitudes
  • Know how to act, not react, in solving situations so that you can lead with more confidence, feel less stress, and gain more success in working and interacting with your team

Who Will Benefit:
  • Anyone with Managerial or Leadership Responsibility
