Effectively Managing Employee Performance and Conduct: Tips and Strategies for Employers

Are you concerned about an employee’s lackluster performance or inappropriate conduct in the workplace but not sure how to properly address it? In this webinar, we provide a comprehensive review of the topic of performance management and progressive discipline including providing practical examples and helpful tips to allow you to engage in effective progressive discipline in your workplace – both in unionized and non-unionized settings – with special attention to remote and hybrid work arrangements.

In this webinar, we will:

• Consider when to implement a performance improvement plan either as an alternative or as part of the progressive discipline process
• Review non-disciplinary strategies for addressing poor performance
• Review the concept, purpose and importance of progressive discipline
• Review the types of conduct that typically warrant progressive discipline and how to implement it
• Review how progressive discipline is applied and provide tips for drafting disciplinary letters
• Review examples of when progressive discipline may not be warranted including situations where immediate termination for cause may be appropriate
• Review other considerations when taking disciplinary action such as accommodation needs and human rights considerations
• Examine the components of a strong remote or hybrid work policy including strategies for managing the performance of employees working from home / remotely
