Employee Complaints and Termination
Most supervisors know the management mantras “document, document, document” and “if it’s not written down, it didn’t happen.” But judging by what we see, not all supervisors know when, what, how, where or why to document employee matters. Don’t let your supervisors fall into this gap.
