While it is eminently desirable to have perfect employees who perform their job descriptions exactly as required, hardly any manager can honestly say that he has many who can meet all expectations. Most employees do conform to requirements and regularly meet them. In some cases, exceptional employees perform at a higher level than is expected. In a few cases, some employees fail to meet even the
. minimum requirements of a job. Human resource departments in large and small companies have the duty to provide a standard way of selecting employees for jobs that are available. Even with the most stringent procedures in place, the hiring system sometimes fails to select the good candidate and also fails to eliminate the bad candidate. When the wrong person is hired, steps must be taken to improve that person's job skills and performance through a plan for corrective action, Bright Hub at http://www.brighthub.com/office/project-management/articles/105703.aspx offers a corrective action plan that is free to users and it includes a template as well. The site acknowledges that a user most likely has a personnel problem or he would not be at this location. It also provides a recommendation for action to be taken swiftly. Problems of this kind do not, as a rule, correct themselves, so the site is prepared to offer assistance to anyone who wants it. A Record of Employee Performance and/or Workplace Behavior Corrective Action Plan that is used by Gonzaga University is available for users to share at http://www.gonzaga.edu/Campus-Resources/Offices-and-Services-A-Z/Human-Resources/EmployeeRelations/Files/CorrectiveActionPlan216. The form is not an elaborate one, but it tends to the business of informing the employee of the shortcomings in his performance. It is constructed so that a question appears above a blank box, and the manager or supervisor is supposed to use the space to fill in the answer. It is not fancy, but it appears to provide a basis for obtaining the required documentation.
