Are you concerned about an employee’s lackluster performance or inappropriate conduct in the workplace but not sure how to properly address it? In this webinar, we provide a comprehensive review of the topic of performance management and progressive discipline including providing practical examples and helpful tips to allow you to engage in effective progressive discipline in your workplace – both in unionized and non-unionized settings – with special attention to remote and hybrid work arrangements.

In this webinar, we will:

• Consider when to implement a performance improvement plan either as an alternative or as part of the progressive discipline process
• Review non-disciplinary strategies for addressing poor performance
• Review the concept, purpose and importance of progressive discipline
• Review the types of conduct that typically warrant progressive discipline and how to implement it
• Review how progressive discipline is applied and provide tips for drafting disciplinary letters
• Review examples of when progressive discipline may not be warranted including situations where immediate termination for cause may be appropriate
• Review other considerations when taking disciplinary action such as accommodation needs and human rights considerations
• Examine the components of a strong remote or hybrid work policy including strategies for managing the performance of employees working from home / remotely
