Write It Down: The Key To Performance Management

The HR Investigations Podcast

In today’s show, podcast host Natalie Ivey, discusses the importance of why mangers need to document employee performance and behavioral issues. Natalie will provide a simple framework for managers to jot down their thoughts before meeting with an employee to discuss a performance or behavioral issue.

This episode focuses on basic “how to” skills for holding a coaching and course correction feedback discuss with employees. Additionally, Natalie shares the importance of coaching and documentation before managers simply rush to issue a disciplinary warning as this is often what sparks internal investigations into allegations of discrimination and harassment.

Key topics:

• Creating a framework for “words to say” to help managers prepare for coaching discussions with employees
• The importance of preparation before sitting down with an employee or meeting virtually to discuss performance issues
• Identifying what the coaching conversation should sound like, especially when handling a behavioral issue
