Employee Relations for Supervisors

Corrective Action: Advice is provided to supervisors on how to correct poor performance and employee misconduct. In such instances, progressive discipline, regulatory and other requirements must be considered in effecting disciplinary actions, resolving employee grievances and appeals.

Performance Improvement Plans: Performance improvement plans should be developed to address the specific performance needs of the employee, should provide clear, concise examples of performance behaviors that are not meeting expectation and include desired behaviors, timelines, deadlines, outcomes, consequences, etc. The manager and employee should work together during the meeting to develop the plan and establish SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely) goals for the employee. All plans should include the action steps that will be taken to correct sub-standard job performance and a follow-up plan to monitor results. All agreed upon steps in the plan should be fulfilled by both the manager, as well as the employee.
