Overview:

Everyone tells you to “document that!” but no one quite tells you what that means. What
does it mean to document behavior and what behavior should you document?

The absence of solid documentation is the single most common mistake employers make
when handling employee performance, behavior, and discipline issues. Not properly
documenting, or not documenting at all, can hurt employers and employees in several ways.
Documentation can make or break a manager’s ability to discipline, terminate, fairly
promote, reward, and recognize employees. Additionally, solid documentation will become
an employer’s best friend when an employee brings discrimination or other employmentrelated claims against the organization.

This webinar will be a basic guide for managers and HR on what to document, how to do so,
and why you need to have this information. Proper documentation saves time, headaches,
and protects the company from lawsuits.
