At a time of slow economic growth and ever raising production costs, it is imperative to ensure that the entire workforce works at best practice levels so as to increase productivity and to keep motivated staff happy and engaged

Best practice can only occur if there is a strong Performance Management System capable of identifying employee issues as they arise, understand the underlying under performance causes, communicate the impact that a particular action or behavior is having on the organization, highlight the importance of achieving the desired outcome within specific guidelines and explain the entire disciplinary process including the possibility of terminating the employment. Following best practice steps in performance management can often save thousands of dollars in litigation and enlist the support of the entire workforce who will feel that fairness and justice are exemplarily applied within the organization.

What follows are some recent examples of disciplinary issues that EWS has assisted employers with:
Employment termination
Filling out a time sheet of another employee
Employee being regularly late or regularly leaving early without explanation
Chronic absenteeism
Disorderly conduct
Immoral conduct or indecency
Malicious gossip and/or the spreading of rumours
Possession or consumption of non-prescribed narcotics on company property
Intoxication at work
Theft
Intentional harassment, including sexual harassment
Insubordination
