In an ideal world, employees would always work at peak performance \u2014 and they\u2019d never break the rules. But we know that\u2019s not realistic. At some point in their careers, most managers must deal with employee misconduct, poor performance, policy violations and other troublesome issues. And, as with most employee-management responsibilities, this involves careful documentation and intervention.<\/p>\r\n

The new Progressive Discipline Smart App<\/a> allows employers to document and address employee issues promptly and appropriately. It helps them gather key details for constructive conversations with employees, as well as create a history of repeat offenses. Nearly 5,000 HRdirect customers have relied on our discipline and warning forms for more than 20 years \u2014 and now they can move those forms online and enjoy a more streamlined and organized process.<\/p>\r\n

Legal and Practical Support Throughout the Process<\/h2>\r\n

Documenting disciplinary issues serves a vital purpose: It holds employees accountable to company standards, as well as their specific job duties. At the same time, it protects employers if a disgruntled worker ever takes legal action against them. Only with careful documentation can a business justify a disciplinary decision or termination in a dispute. Now, thanks to the evolution of HRdirect\u2019s paper warning and discipline forms to the online Progressive Discipline app, busy employers can handle this essential documentation faster and smarter than ever before.<\/p>\r\n

By recording all incidents consistently, managers and supervisors are more apt to treat employees equally and fairly \u2014 another important legal protection. And unlike other progressive discipline tools on the market, our attorney-approved app promotes employee discussion as a critical part of the discipline process. By completing each part of the Employee Warning Notice, managers will be better prepared for meaningful employee discussions. They\u2019ll have all the pertinent details at their fingertips for a thoughtful and productive exchange, which can be a critical first step toward positive change.<\/p>\r\n

Finally, true to the \u201cProgressive Discipline\u201d name, the app captures repeat or escalating offenses (and the actions taken) for a complete recorded history.<\/p>\r\n
