Dealing With Problem Employees Audio Conference on CD

Order this 90-minute audio conference recording, where our expert – an experienced employment law attorney – will tell you how to recognize and reform “below standard” employees. You’ll learn how to set clearly understood performance standards for your workers before problems set in, as well as how to administer discipline and terminate employees, if required, without making matters worse.

You and your colleagues will learn:

• The first step that’s required in your workplace to nip problem employees in the bud
• How you can recognize problem employees – and steer them to higher performance levels – before it’s too late for them to remain employed
• What steps you can take to administer progressive discipline with your workers (and how to avoid claims of discrimination or retaliation in the process)
• How to keep problem employees from affecting the morale of their co-workers
• The limits of “at-will” employment, especially when dealing with workers who are in protected classes due to their age, disability, gender, national origin, race, or religion
• Which mistakes many employers make when terminating problem employees (and how you can avoid repeating them!)
