HR TRY ANGLE 09: Try Managing Performance

LETTING GO OF POOR PERFORMERS Australian managers are notoriously poor at managing ineffective performance in the workplace. Often it is ignored until it becomes a crisis, and more often than not, it is

then handled very badly, resulting in unfair dismissal claims being brought against the organisation. This module contains all the practical advice, guidance and templates to take you through the appropriate steps to avoid litigation and disgruntled ex-employees.

It provides advice on what to do when performance improves, and what to do to meet legislative requirements if it does not. The templates include all the appropriate warning letters to ensure the employer follows the correct due process for dismissing poor performers.

The module includes:

• Steps to effectively manage poor performance
• Documenting performance meetings
• Checklist to guide the performance process
• Instant termination of employment
• Sample documents to adapt when conducting a performance process
