We all have experienced it:  the moment when you realize your problem employee is going to need disciplinary action. The temptation may be to avoid confrontation because of a desire for workplace harmony, or to overreact out of frustration & anger. It's important not to ignore the issue: workplace discipline, when properly administered, helps your business avoid many common problems & benefits you in many ways. This three & one half hour seminar will provide you with the skills to professionally handle an intervention & help you curb problem behavior, uphold your workplace standards & avert bigger problems later. (HRCI Credits have been applied for)

The seminar will address:

• Understanding The Role Of A Supervisor or Manager
• Understand the Counseling and Disciplinary Process
• Defining Progressive Discipline  & Common Errors of Supervisor/Manager
