Study Case Manage people performance
1. In this case it is obvious that the employee is worried more about the child and the problems that were caused by their divorce. Firstly I would have a conversation with the employee, discussing the issue of his/her under performance. Initially my main concern would have been, not to bring the employee in an uncomfortable situation, while discussing his personal matters.
I would try to liberate the employee from most of his responsibilities, giving the time needed for him/her to find a solution for the child. Time will fix up the situation, and the employee can return in the previous condition and level of performance.

2. In this case, we have an employee who refuses to improve him/herself. Once he/she has been given many chances, through training and coaching, as well as verbal and written warnings, it is clear that the employee has to be replaced as soon as possible.

3. You cannot take any further action, unless you have made the reasons of his performance clear. You can consider your options, only after you listen to him.

4. Being drunk at work is not only unprofessional, but also makes employees unable to function properly and may even result in injuries to the drunken employee and others.
As a manager, I can create policies and codes of conduct that the employees agree to follow at all times. One policy of this kind should relate to drug and alcohol abuse, and should be signed by all your members of staff.
In this alcohol and drug abuse policy, it will state that we will not tolerate any abuse of drugs or alcohol in the workplace at all. An employer is actually required by law to refuse any intoxicated staff members access to the workplace.

5. I am opposed to training as a means to correct the personal characteristics of individuals. And in this case the employee’s characteristics do not probably match, with the employee’s responsibility dealing with customers. I will either involve the employee more with tasks that do not include

    Step four is to take action to correct problems and reinforce successes. In my opinion this is the last and most critical step. The individual incorrectly imputed wrong working time, or time that they did not work. This can be handled in a number of ways. They can have the employee make up the hours, and not get paid for them. Another option is that they can deduct the time paid out of their paycheck. This will allow the other employees to be aware that this type of action will not be overlooked. The manager should also be held accountable for his or her action. A manager should not authorize any action that is not cleared or allowed in the handbook. The only way to be fair on both sides is to write the manager up.…

    Elora Jean & Company is deeply troubled about possible drug and alcohol abuse among employees. It is their goal to establish and maintain a drug-free workplace to provide a safer work environment. The goal here today is to recommend items that should go into this policy and to recognize the type of training that will be needed for management and employees pursuant to the new policy. In addition, there will be a discussion on how effective a new drug-free workplace policy will be in reducing work-place accidents. The legality of the policy will be discussed in addition to discussing the implementation of the new policy for both, the union and non-union environment (CTU Online, 2008).…

    Substance abuse is a growing problem in the workplace. “Substance abuse is the repeated use of alcohol or drugs to the point that users develop personal problems and distress related to use.” (Giraffe, 2011) I am going to discuss the major problems with substance abuse and outline some mind-boggling statistics. Furthermore, I will relate substance abuse to a work environment I have been associated with and express the chaos I have witnessed from co-workers abusing illegal substances and over-using alcohol. I am going to analyze ways this problem can be possibly solved or at least prevented to a certain degree. If substance abuse is prevented, I have determined several social and economic benefits that may occur.…

    Drug Testing in Mississippi

    The Workers' Compensation Law seems clear in requiring that every employer insured under this Law should have a safety program which "shall" include a written drug and alcohol testing policy which complies with Miss. Code Ann. §71-7-1 et seq. (Rev. 2000), the purpose of which is to "ensure that the workplace is a drug and alcohol free environment and to deter the use of drugs and alcohol at the workplace." Regardless of whether the Commissioner of Insurance has promulgated appropriate regulations, and regardless of whether each insurer is providing the appropriate safety program assistance, in the end, §71-3-121 appears to establish a clear legislative intent that employers covered by the Workers' Compensation Law should have a drug and alcohol testing program which complies with the separate Drug and Alcohol Testing of Employees Law, Miss. Code Ann. §71-7-1 et seq. (Rev. 2000), as amended. 1 There is, however, no sanction or penalty in the Workers' Compensation Law for employers that do not have a suitable drug and alcohol testing policy in place. Consider also, the following:…

    As a manager and supervisor I would periodically have done assessments on this employees performs, sat down with her to see where her weaknesses were, provided the needed training she required to perform her job and would have documented all this in her employee file. If after several months of training and support she was still unable to perform her duties then I would proceed with the process of terminating her. It is understandable that she is well educated and recently out of college but…

    In my opinion I feel that Len Fulkner did handle the situation correctly with Harry Boecker, though perhaps more could have been done. Harry is a machinist and this involves working with dangerous equipment and by sending him home for the day, Len avoided any potential safety issues or risks to Harry or his fellow coworkers. One extra step that Len maybe should have taken was to document the incident and bring it to his supervisor’s attention immediately so that it could be addressed with Harry immediately the next day. Simply sending Harry home for the day and waiting for a week to pass before bringing it up with anyone sends the wrong message to Harry that perhaps the only repercussion to showing up to work under the influence will be just getting sent home.…

    Alcoholism itself is a major social problem, but when mixed with policing it may be more dangerous than we think. It all starts with the feeling of being stressed out on the job. Police feel that they have too much to deal with on the job, which I feel is true. In the field of law enforcement, officers tend to get involved in some intense situations and see some horrific tragedies. After work, they feel that a way to relive this stress is to stop at a bar on the way home "pound" a couple of beers. Whether it is beer or hard liquor, it may just seem like a little thing to do after work, but it can become an addicting routine.…
