Discipline and Corrective Action

Class Summary

Often the most important work a supervisor or manager performs is in one-to-one discussions with “problem” employees. These sessions are often concerned with resolving performance problems and/or conflict. Successful resolution of these situations can increase productivity, improve morale, reduce employee turnover, and avoid grievances.
