Basic Tools (1): Document

I mean DOCUMENT EVERY significant employee interaction.

Make simple, descriptive notes about:
-disciplinary actions
-exception to any practice or policy
-precedents of any kind

These are key examples, not an exhaustive list.

Keep your notes in a file, paper or electronic.

Be aware that these notes can be subpoenaed in case of litigation or trial. So keep the notes factual and objective with no judgemental, snide or profane comments.

We will look at these individual examples to document this week.
