Product Description

For the employer who needs an effective approach to coaching and disciplining employees.

In today's litigious world, managers and supervisors must ensure that when they discipline their employees, they do so fairly. Otherwise, they may end up dealing with expensive legal problems.

Fortunately, The Progressive Discipline Handbook helps prevent days in court. A complete how-to guide full of practical and legal advice, you'll find out how to:

  • identify an appropriate level of discipline
  • deal with employees when discipline is necessary
  • correct and monitor problems
  • prevent future problems

    The CD-ROM provides useful forms, checklists and audio dialogues, plus quizzes to reinforce core lessons.

    Best of all, The Progressive Discipline Handbook can be used with any progressive discipline policy already in place -- making it easy to implement. It also provides tips and strategies that help managers handle one of the most difficult parts of their jobs: Communicating with employees about discipline problems.

    A 'must' for any business library catering to managers.5
    Business managers can learn how to couch troubled performers and increase productivity with The Progressive Discipline Handbook, which moves beyond the general advice guide to get down to the specifics of management. From learning how to identify problems early and decide when discipline is needed to engaging employees in cooperative production, this handbook is key for any manager - especially those who would guide effectively while avoiding lawsuits. A 'must' for any business library catering to managers.
