WHEN MANAGER AVOIDANCE BECOMES AN HR PROBLEM
A manager tolerates poor performance, provides vague feedback, documents little, and then asks HR to support a PIP, discipline, or termination.
HR is then being asked to compensate for management that did not occur.
When Managers Avoid Performance Problems gives HR managers a practical framework for determining what must happen before formal action is supported—and when responsibility needs to return to the manager.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
Participants will learn how to:
Determine whether sufficient management action has occurred before supporting a PIP, discipline, or termination
Evaluate whether expectations, feedback, documentation, and opportunities to improve are adequate
Recognize when HR support has become managerial substitution
Respond when a manager requests formal action prematurely
Return responsibility to the manager without creating unnecessary conflict
Strengthen documentation and reduce unsupported performance decisions
PRACTICAL TOOLS INCLUDED
Each participant receives:
Formal Action Readiness Checklist
HR Intervention Decision Guide
Performance Documentation Quality Test
Accountability Conversation Guide
PIP, Discipline, and Termination Readiness Review
30-Day Application Guide
These tools are designed for immediate use when managers bring performance concerns to HR.

Designed for HR managers and other HR professionals responsible for advising managers on performance, discipline, PIPs, and termination decisions.
