How to Avoid the Performance Management Mistakes That Lead to Lawsuits

 

Learn the legal landmines to avoid when dealing with performance management.

Runtime: 11 minutes

Agenda

Most employment-related lawsuits result from poor communication, arbitrary conduct, favoritism, failing to address problems early, lack of honesty, or lack of accountability. That makes it incredibly important that supervisors and managers understand that many problems can be avoided if they are not even giving the perception of acting arbitrarily or of favoring an employee. Having supervisors work on their communication skills goes a long way to avoid lawsuits. This video reviews how to deal with problem employees, what should and should not be in the personnel file, and how to respond when an employee’s lawyers want to see the personnel file.
