WEBINAR DETAILS
Managing employee performance is one of the most
difficult and legally sensitive responsibilities of every supervisor. Whether
addressing attendance problems, performance deficiencies, misconduct, or policy
violations, managers must balance accountability with fairness while minimizing
legal and organizational risk.
This practical webinar will provide supervisors,
managers, HR professionals, and executives with the knowledge and tools needed
to handle disciplinary issues confidently and consistently. Participants will
learn how to recognize when coaching should become discipline, properly document
performance concerns, conduct effective disciplinary meetings, avoid common
legal pitfalls, and support a workplace culture built on accountability and
respect.
Using real-world examples and practical guidance,
this session will focus on what managers need to know before discipline becomes
a lawsuit, grievance, or employee relations crisis.
