In this episode 203 of the podcast I bring you a run down on the steps you need to take to effectively manage an employee who is not performing to the level you require. I also touch upon how to address those niggly attitude or behaviour issues that seem to be coming up more and more frequently.

In this episode of the podcast I cover:

• The starting point and self-reflection as a manager.
• Why it is important to go through an informal process first.
• What the informal performance management process looks like.
• Why a Performance Improvement Plan (known as a PIP) should be the last possible option with poor performance.
• How to go through a formal process.
• When you can issue warnings.
• How long a process should take.
• Answers to frequently asked questions about performance management.
• How to deal with poor attitude.
• How to address general small scale poor behaviours.

Of course at the heart of good performance management is COMMUNICATION!

If you would like training for your team on how to effectively manager performance issues then I am available to provide training for 1/2 day for up to 30 people for £750 plus VAT.

Alternatively if you would like guidance on a performance management issue or to discuss how best to deal with a scenario then please get in touch and myself or a colleague will be happy to advise you.
