3 Steps for Managing Employee Performance Problems

Managers deals with employee discipline, and correcting unacceptable performance. You always want to help your good workers become even better, but your first concern has to be to identify employees who aren’t working up to standard and to correct their shortcomings.

Verbal counseling

A typical manager verbally counsels a variety of employees in any given day. Verbal counseling can range from a simple, spontaneous correction performed in your office to discuss what steps you can take to correct the problem and the plan to implement them.

Written counseling

Written counseling formalizes the counseling process by documenting your employee’s performance shortcomings in a memo. Written counseling is presented to the employee in one-on-one sessions in the supervisor’s office. After the employee has an opportunity to read the document, verbal discussions regarding the employee’s plan to improve performance ensue. This documentation becomes a part of your employee’s personnel file.

Negative performance evaluation

If verbal and written counseling fail to improve your employee’s performance, the situation warrants a negative performance evaluation. Because performance evaluations are generally given only annually in many organizations, if at all, they’re not usually useful for dealing with acute situations. Employee should be made aware of his/her performance within the year so the employee is given a chance to improve their performance.
