"My name's Gloria Campbell. I'm with Advantage Training Systems, in St. Petersburg, Florida. And we usually at some time in our career have to give a written warning to an employee, and there's some specific steps that we want to make sure that we observe. First of all, normally a written warning is not the first level of escalation for an offense. Take a look at what your company's policy is. If you don't have one, then I would certainly institute one within my department of my organization. The first warning is normally verbal. The second warnin', unless the infraction deserves to be a written warning. If you're going to give a written warning, make sure it is something that you have observed yourself that you can document. You'll write it down. Again, you've got a copy for yourself and a copy for the employee, and you should have that employee sign that they have been given a rule, a warning. The on the warning should be some very specifics as to what happened, and also what behavior you would like to see happen. You might also want to put on there a time frame when you're going to check back with the employee. The purpose of the written warning is to eliminate the offensive behavior. Look at it from that ston standpoint. Make sure you communicate it to the employee. My name's Gloria Campbell. I'm with Advantage Training Systems, in St. Petersburg, Florida. Giving the right written warning can help save that employee."
