Attendance Issues.

To address attendance issues a manager should approach the conversation calmly and professionally. Start by discussing the specific attendance patterns and how they impact the team and workflow. Be clear about expectations and listen to the employee's perspective to understand any underlying causes. Together, explore solutions or adjustments that can help improve attendance. Reinforce the importance of reliability and set a plan for follow-up to monitor progress while offering support where needed.

When addressing an employee who refuses to do certain tasks and is insubordinate, a manager should have a direct and private conversation with the employee. Clearly explain the unacceptable behavior and remind them of their job responsibilities and the importance of following instructions. Ask for their reasoning behind refusing the tasks and listen to understand any concerns. Emphasize the need for mutual respect and cooperation and outline the consequences of continued insubordination. Be firm but fair, offering a path for improvement and setting clear expectations moving forward.

Addressing an employee who is not meeting their job responsibilities can be tricky, be sure to clearly outline the areas where performance is falling short, using specific examples. Explain the impact this has on the team and the organization. Listen to the employee’s perspective to understand any challenges they may be facing. Provide guidance on how they can improve, set clear expectations for future performance, and offer support or resources if needed. Establish a timeline for improvement and follow up regularly to ensure progress is being made.

It all begins with an idea.
