Holding employees accountable and supporting their growth are central to performance management—and critical for reducing legal exposure.

When performance issues arise, knowing how to address them promptly, fairly and consistently can prevent misunderstandings, reduce liability and ensure your actions are defensible if documentation or disciplinary decisions are later challenged.

Attend this webinar regardless of whether you have a formal performance-review process in place. You’ll learn how to give constructive feedback that highlights strengths while clearly identifying areas needing improvement, and how to set meaningful goals with measurable benchmarks that allow progress to be tracked and reviewed. The session also covers identifying areas for improvement, developing actionable correction plans and fostering open, ongoing communication between managers and employees.

You’ll discover how to create written records that not only guide performance improvement but also protect your company if legal questions arise. The instructor will also address common pitfalls in discipline policies and follow-through. You’ll learn how to maintain consistent practices, use documentation strategically and effectively manage performance, behavior and attendance issues—all while reducing the organization’s exposure to risk.

Learn exactly what to say during verbal and written conversations from Paul Falcone, a best-selling author and the former HR leader at Paramount Pictures and Time Warner.
