MANAGER, HR Fri, 26 Jun 2009 14:52:24 +0000 http://www.hrmorning.com/?p=2745#comment-16266 While I agree with the above guidance with re to communication of disciplinary, salary, workload issues, I have also coached my managers in the past to always follow up verbal coaching sessions with a written email summarizing the discussion and expectations. This way there is a documentation trail as well as clarity in expectations. This has 'saved' us many a time when further discipline was needed.
