This AHI checklist is used to record the discipline problem, actions taken, and future actions to be taken (such as a follow-up to see if the problem was corrected).
After issuing discipline, it’s essential to follow up to make sure the employee understands what’s expected moving forward and to gauge any progress. It’s all about keeping lines of communication open.
If the employee disagrees, listen to their perspective carefully. It’s a good practice to acknowledge their feelings, but also stick to the facts and explain why the discipline is necessary.
Document everything in a straightforward way, including what was discussed, the employee's response, and any agreed-upon next steps. It’s like keeping a diary of the situation.
Absolutely! Employees have the right to bring someone along for support during the meeting, so they don’t feel like they’re in the hot seat alone.
In a disciplinary meeting, it's a good idea to include the employee's supervisor, a witness if possible, and to lay out the concerns clearly and respectfully.
Using the checklist ensures everyone is on the same page and helps avoid any missteps that could lead to misunderstandings or claims of unfair treatment.
The Aurora Colorado Manager's Checklist for Final Discipline is a handy guide that helps managers follow the right steps when handling employee discipline fairly and consistently.
