EXTRA VALUE: This event includes a free copy of the e-learning module called “Progressive Discipline: The ‘Career Advocate’ Method for Salvaging Endangered Employees” - This 8 and a half minute program is a great follow up tool to reinforce key points. It includes a quiz (print & online), handouts, a leader’s discussion guide and a summary sheet.
COURSE DESCRIPTION: Progressive discipline is primarily about preventing lawsuits. When you’ve got an insubordinate or underperforming employee in a protected class, you need that paper trail to protect you in court.
But there’s an often overlooked goal for progressive discipline – one that, ironically, protects you against lawsuits better than the defensive “paper trail” mentality. That goal is salvaging the employee.
This Webinar will give participants a fresh view on progressive discipline. It will explain the “Career Advocate” model for salvaging endangered employees. Not the ones you desperately want to lose, but those you’ve invested in heavily and would like to keep, but whose jobs are threatened for one reason or another. Participants will learn the positive role that progressive discipline can play, and will be able to seize opportunities to change behavior and retain valuable employees who would otherwise have to be terminated.
In this Webinar you will learn:
- The four steps in the progressive discipline process
- The most important message that managers need to send to employees when disciplining them
- An often-overlooked leadership insight that applies to progressive discipline
- The five steps in a “career-advocate” conversation with an endangered employee
- Why the “offensive’” progressive discipline approach prevents more lawsuits than the “defensive” approach
- How to achieve the right balance between coaching and discipline
- Insights from case studies of managers who use both the defensive and offensive approaches to progressive discipline
- Why leaders don’t just oversee people, they CHANGE people
