Bad Manager. Bad Employee.™

$125.00

Correcting Repeated Employee Behavior Before It Becomes an HR Issue

Repeated employee behavior often continues because expectations have not been clarified, corrected, documented, and followed up on with enough consistency.

Most recurring performance and conduct problems do not begin as major HR issues. They usually begin as missed deadlines, unclear standards, delayed conversations, uneven follow-up, and coworkers quietly compensating for behavior that should have been addressed earlier.

This 60-minute clinic gives managers a practical structure for correcting repeated employee behavior with clarity, fairness, and confidence.

Managers will learn how to identify the actual behavior, reset the standard, hold the correction conversation, document the concern, and follow up consistently so the employee understands what must change and what will happen next.

This clinic is designed for managers, supervisors, HR partners, and leaders who need a practical way to address repeated performance and conduct concerns before they damage trust, morale, or team performance.

Why Leaders Trust Seattle Consulting Group

Seattle Consulting Group is led by Jim Woods, CEO and President of Seattle Consulting Group and author of HR Unchained. Jim brings more than three decades of experience across leadership development, human resources, organizational development, manager accountability, and workplace performance.

His work has supported organizations across corporate, government, military, education, and public-sector environments, including Fortune 500 and national organizations.

Jim holds a Master’s degree in Organizational Development and Human Resources. He has worked with leaders, managers, HR professionals, and frontline teams on the workplace moments that shape performance, trust, accountability, and culture.

Seattle Consulting Group’s training is built for the realities managers face every day:

Unclear expectations that leave employees guessing.
Underperformance that is noticed but not addressed early enough.
Repeated conduct concerns that begin to affect the team.
Weak documentation that creates avoidable risk and confusion.
Inconsistent follow-up that allows patterns to continue.
Difficult conversations that managers often delay too long.

The work is practical, direct, and grounded in a simple operating belief: stronger cultures are not built through slogans. They are built through clearer standards, better manager behavior, consistent follow-through, and leadership systems that make accountability possible.

Why This Clinic Matters

Repeated employee behavior is one of the most common challenges managers face.

Missed deadlines, poor follow-through, ignored standards, repeated tension, and resistance to correction usually continue when the manager response has not been clear or consistent enough.

By the time HR becomes involved, the issue is often larger, more emotional, and harder to resolve than it needed to be.

This clinic helps managers respond earlier, more clearly, and with better structure.

What Managers Will Learn

Managers will learn how to identify repeated employee behavior, connect it to a clear work standard, prepare for the correction conversation, document the concern, and follow up with more consistency.

The clinic focuses on practical manager behavior, not theory. Participants learn how to move from frustration to clarity, from vague feedback to specific expectations, and from one-time conversations to disciplined follow-up.

The Manager Correction Framework

Managers will work through a simple five-part structure:

Identify the repeated behavior clearly enough that it can be addressed.
Connect the behavior to a specific work standard or expectation.
Clarify what has already been communicated, corrected, or allowed.
Hold the correction conversation with direct, professional language.
Document the concern and follow up before the issue becomes normalized.

Who Should Attend

This clinic is designed for managers, supervisors, team leads, department heads, HR professionals, employee relations leaders, operations leaders, and executives responsible for improving manager accountability.

It is especially useful for organizations dealing with:

Repeated employee behavior that continues after informal feedback.
Uneven manager follow-through across teams or departments.
Documentation gaps that make correction harder later.
Inconsistent standards that frustrate reliable employees.
Employees who have learned that correction is unlikely.

You Should Attend If

This clinic is a strong fit if your organization has managers who need a clearer way to correct repeated behavior without becoming harsh, vague, or avoidant.

You should attend if:

Managers complain about difficult employees but delay the conversation.
Employees continue the same behavior after informal feedback.
Documentation is too thin to support consistent correction.
Teams are frustrated by one person’s repeated conduct or underperformance.
Managers need practical language for difficult employee conversations.

What Participants Leave With

Participants leave with a practical correction structure they can use immediately.

They will understand how to name the behavior, reset the standard, hold the conversation, document the concern, and follow up with more confidence.

Participants will also receive a manager correction checklist they can use before and after difficult employee conversations.

Seminar Agenda

Opening: The Management Pattern Behind Repeated Employee Behavior

Why recurring employee concerns often continue when expectations, correction, documentation, and follow-up are not consistent enough.

Part One: Name the Behavior

How to separate personality complaints from observable behavior that can be corrected.

Part Two: Reset the Standard

How to state the work standard clearly enough that the employee understands what must change.

Part Three: Hold the Correction Conversation

How to correct behavior directly without overexplaining, apologizing, or turning the conversation into a debate.

Part Four: Document and Follow Up

How to capture the issue, expectation, next step, and follow-up date in a way that supports consistency.

Part Five: Know When to Escalate

How managers should recognize when repeated behavior has moved beyond routine correction and requires HR or senior leadership involvement.
