Topic: Difficult Performance Management Conversations
Every HR professional or other executive has had to have, at times, a difficult conversation with an employee about his or her performance. Sometimes, it is in the context of a performance appraisal. Other times, it may be a final warning. Regardless of the context, careful planning is necessary. Otherwise, wrong things often are said or done that may result in a difficult lawsuit to defend. This program provides 12 guardrails to minimize the legal risk and maximize the business benefits of difficult but necessary conversations about performance. Common traps in the absence of bad intent are emphasized.
