Train your leaders in a positive approach to discipline – and avoid needless terminations

By Terry Fitzwater

When employees exhibit unwanted behavior or performance, all too often managers confront the situation using a punitive approach that, unfortunately, leads to termination. One of the most effective ways to keep this from happening in your organization is to train supervisors and managers in a positive, proactive approach to the discipline process.

Documenting Employee Performance Workshop offers both new and seasoned leaders step-by-step instruction in a process for documenting performance issues – from the identification of the issues all the way through resolution. The workshop comes with the activities, self-profiles, quizzes and other interactive techniques you need to engage participants and ensure learning sticks. 

This workshop will help participants:

• Emphasize behavioral modification and corrective action – not punishment
• Follow a systematic process for documenting performance issues
• Be consistent when counseling to ensure understanding and acceptance of feedback
• Identify their leadership style so they can better understand their reactions to various employee situations

The workshop is packed with tips and strategies for giving feedback, using impact words, coaching for change, writing performance objectives, identifying and dealing with personality types, identifying performance gaps, using the correct language and formats for documentation, documenting expectations of employees, and much more.

Trainers can easily customize the workshop to fit your organizational culture and environment. An appendix section includes 12 reproducible forms for helping participants evaluate their coaching skills, detail development plans, create a Performance Enhancement Plan (PEP), and more.
