Documentation 101
 
 
  Audience:
 Supervisors, Human Resource Staff

Schedule:
2 hours

Preparing documentation after discussing a performance issue with an employee can be a difficult and frustrating task that is left incomplete. Not knowing what to write, not knowing how to write it, or putting it off until tomorrow are excuses we've all used. However, if a situation ever arises that requires you to defend an employment decision you'll need more than an empty employee file and a supervisor’s distant recollections.

This program takes supervisors through the basics of preparing documentation in a timely and efficient manner and offers tips on how to get started, what should be documented, and how to simplify the overall process.
