Inhaltsangabe

Maximize employee performance—whether your workers are on-site or remote

Confronting employees about poor performance is an ordeal dreaded by managers and HR pros everywhere. The possibility of emotional outbursts—and the specter of a lawsuit—leaves even many experienced managers at a loss.

The Employee Performance Handbook is a complete how-toguide for managing employee performance. Packed with practical and legal advice, this book offers smart strategies that will help get the most out of your employees and avoid legal trouble. You’ll learn how to:

• identify problems early on
• decide when discipline is necessary
• choose the right response to a problem
• engage employees in improving performance
• fire employees when necessary
• protect against wrongful termination lawsuits, and
• manage a remote workforce effectively.

With downloadable forms: You can download sample policies, sample forms, checklists, skills-building exercises, and more, (details inside).

In today’s litigious world, managers and supervisors must make sure that they evaluate and discipline their employees in a fair and consistent manner. Doing so will not only help employers avoid expensive lawsuits, but also improve the performance of well-meaning employees who have gotten off track. For employees who are unable or unwilling to improve, a progressive disciplinary policy will lay the groundwork for terminating the employee in a way that minimizes legal risk.

The Employee Performance Handbook is a complete how-to guide full of practical and legal advice, examples, quizzes, and forms. With this book, you’ll be able to:

• identity and address performance, conduct, and attendance problems
• respond with the appropriate level of discipline
• deal with the emotions that accompany discipline
• correct and monitor problems, and
• terminate employees when necessary.

And, with more employees working from home than ever before, managers need to understand the unique challenges of supervising remote employees. This book explores the potential pitfalls and offers strategies for getting the most out of your remote workforce.

Best of all, The Employee Performance Handbook can be used with any progressive discipline policy already in place — making it universally applicable and easy to implement. It also provides HR tips and strategies to help managers handle one of the most difficult and emotionally fraught parts of their jobs: communicating with employees about discipline problems.
