Summary: Performance counseling sessions are often difficult for supervisors as well as employees. We are usually delivering information that is hard for our employees to hear. A poorly handled counseling session can damage the relationship between a supervisor and their employee. In this workshop, we will discuss how to prepare and conduct effective conversations that help move employees forward with a clear plan to support improved and sustained performance. Outcomes:

• Implement a consistent progressive discipline process
• Effectively document and deliver counseling and corrective action
• Understand the steps to a fair and legal corrective action process

Facilitators: Sheri Lautenbach and Tracy Callan
