Employee interactions can be a little tricky, but don’t worry CEDR is here to help!
First things first: Not every conversation you have with an employee requires you to sit down for a formal meeting. Most employee interactions happen on the fly or in passing.
Still, any time you have a conversation (formal or non) with an employee about their performance, well being, or any other topic that might one day factor into a management decision, you’ll want to have a record of that conversation on file. The on file records allows you to tell a complete story of coaching your employee to success or a complete story of why they had to be let go. This thorough record keeping can not only protect your practice legally but can also provide excellent insight into better staff and manager trainings going forward.
