Recommendation

Too many managers let poorly performing employees slip through regular reviews until a crisis occurs. If an employee’s written appraisals do not reflect his or her actual work, a sudden termination can result in costly legal action because the company’s paper trail will support the employee, not the firm. This useful handbook provides sound advice on how to handle such issues and deals with the nine most common areas of poor job performance.

Take-Aways

  • When dealing with poor performance, use a gradual escalation process that provides the employee with the opportunity to improve.
  • Document every step in your management of a problem employee.
  • If you become involved in legal action, being able to show that employees understand and accept all company policies and procedures will be a great help.
