performance management
As behavioral change is often more difficult
to sustain over the long term, periodic
positive and supportive reinforcement and
feedback is appropriate.
It is strongly recommend that periodic
enquiries be made after the training has
been completed and the participant has
resumed their regular duties. These enquiries
should be made of the participant,
complainant and participant’s manager, to
ensure that the inappropriate behaviour
that necessitated the training has in fact
been addressed appropriately, in order to
determine whether any further action is
required.
Ultimately, the organization has a duty
to ensure that inappropriate behaviour is
remedied and does not continue. It is not
sufficient to deliver the training and then
close the file. It is important to ensure that
the investment of time and resources in
remedying the behaviour achieves the desired
results; otherwise, the organization
remains liable for damages in the event the
behaviour continues.
SUMMARY
Customized one-to-one remedial training
is an effective and respectful way of addressing
inappropriate workplace behaviours,
taking corrective action and minimizing
disruption to your workforce. At
the same time, it affords you an opportunity
to retain experienced, long-term employees,
in whom you have invested much
effort and expense.
OR MANAGING OTHERS.
