Course Description
Overview
As a leader, you’re responsible for your team’s performance. A bona fide test of your skills is managing performance problems and implementing solutions. But some employees’ performance problems are beyond solving. To terminate problem employees, you’ll need to build a litigation-proof case of documented performance issues and disciplinary actions that were taken quickly and correctly.
This interactive, virtual course provides the guidance you need to handle discipline and terminations with greater skill and confidence, preserving your credibility and knowing you’ve covered all the legal bases.
