Words Matter: Top 10 Documentation Strategies for Managers
Audience:
Supervisors, HR professionals, and managers.
Description:
Whether you are setting expectations, evaluating performance, coaching, counseling, disciplining, terminating, or even just memorializing a key event, words matter. In fact, how you document, when, how often, and how you follow up on your documentation all have legal and non-legal implications for your workplace, not the least of which provides a solid foundation for your legal defense in the event you are sued.
Join us as we learn:
- Why documentation is important from a legal and non-legal perspective.
- What kinds of documentation you should use.
- How to use documentation as a meaningful performance management tool.
- How and when to document.
- Where to put the paper when your documentation is complete.
