Release - 2006

Positive Discipline teaches a simple, yet highly effective, five step process for correcting negative performance.

• Identify the problem (the gap between the actual & desired behavior)
• Analyze the problem's severity (determine the impact and consequences of the behavior if not corrected)
• Discuss the problem (with the employee, gain their agreement on a solution)
• Document the discussion (including the history of the problem and what was said and agreed upon)
• Follow-up to monitor results (recognize improvements, or take action if the problem hasn't resolved)

The program's vignettes are set in different work environments and feature three different performance issues (including the all too familiar example of an employee who is chronically tardy and frequently absent). Accompanying workshop materials include role-play activities, job aids (such as a conversation planner), and more.

As the competition for qualified employees gets tougher and tougher, what alternatives does an organization have when positions open up? They can spend a lot of money recruiting and hiring.

This program shows that supervisors, managers and team leaders play a crucial role in this process and demonstrates three of the most important tactics a manager can take to retain workers.

Viewers will learn how to:

• Inspire a climate of loyalty
• Keep individuals challenged
• Motivate and reward

• Be flexible without compromising productivity
