In today’s show, podcast host Natalie Ivey, discusses the importance of why mangers need to document employee performance and behavioral issues. Natalie will provide a simple framework for managers to jot down their thoughts before meeting with an employee to discuss a performance or behavioral issue.

This episode focuses on basic “how to” skills for holding a coaching and course correction feedback discuss with employees. Additionally, Natalie shares the importance of coaching and documentation before managers simply rush to issue a disciplinary warning as this is often what sparks internal investigations into allegations of discrimination and harassment.

Key topics:

• Creating a framework for “words to say” to help managers prepare for coaching discussions with employees
• The importance of preparation before sitting down with an employee or meeting virtually to discuss performance issues
• Identifying what the coaching conversation should sound like, especially when handling a behavioral issue
