- Examine the issue of managers just not documenting employee behavior and performance issues.
- Discuss the danger in firing an employee “At-will” without any sort of documentation and how an EEOC investigator sees it
- Examine why it is critical to have documentation that supports an employee engaged in misconduct that violated organizational policy or that the employee wasn’t meeting performance expectations
- Discuss the issue of managers failing to document employee issues, run to HR announcing they wish to fire an employee and then view HR as “the enemy” when HR pushes back on a termination of employment due to lack of documentation.
- Identify root causes to managers failing to document
- Explain the benefits of phone apps and tech shortcuts to help managers stay organized and minimize the burdensome task of memorializing notes of employee conversations.
Review several key solutions to improving managers’ documentation capabilities
