• Induction Process

  Having completed the hiring stage, it's vital that you take new employees or contractors through an induction process to help them settle into your company.  Use our highly effective Induction Process to help your new employee or contractor fit into your organisation.

• Improving Employee Performance

  When an employee is not meeting performance standards you need to remedy the situation as soon as possible.  First, you need to ensure the issue is a genuine performance problem and one related to the employee not being able to do the job properly.  Follow our Improving Employee Performance Process  to track, monitor and improve employee performance.

• Maintaining Employee Performance

  Once you've corrected a performance issue, the next step is to maintain the improvement. Use our Maintaining Employee Performance Process  to deliver positive reinforcement and praise to your whole team regardless of performance problem history.

• Dealing with Unsatisfactory Performance/Behaviour

  When performance or behaviour is not meeting expectations, it's time to take action. Accurately determine the nature of the issue and follow these steps to effectively deal with unsatisfactory performance and unacceptable behaviour.

• Disciplinary Action

  When a significant misconduct incident occurs, or a previous attempt to correct unsatisfactory performance has been unsuccessful, you need to take action. Follow our Disciplinary Action Process to  effectively and lawfully correct unsatisfactory performance or unacceptable behaviour.

• Termination and Dismissal

  When repeated misconduct or persistent poor performance is occurring despite previous disciplinary action, it's time to consider termination of employment on notice.  Follow Workforce Guardian's Termination and Dismissal Process to lawfully terminate employment.

• Restructuring and Redundancy

  Restructuring is undertaken in order to meet a variety of requirements including taking steps to alter the organisation and scale of the business structure to meet future requirements.
