Once again, I look to the wise about this topic. It has always been the biggest thorn in my side.
I know there are hundreds of way, and in the end, nothing works well other than decrease employee morale.
I know that a lot will suggest "writing up employees." I find that very confrontational.
Once the employee has a job description, can I not just keep track whether officially or unofficially as to what I would consider not performing up to standards and then either give raises or not, give bonsues or not. If I give a lower bonus or less of a raise, do I have to actually justify it to them.
Sure, just as with kids, when you address it at the time, I suppose they can change. But, they already know. And, they DON'T change. I don't mean bad employees or fireable offenses. But, I think pointing out things over and over simply serves no purpose.
I guess in the end, is it ok for me just to keep a point system or something in their file or not in their file and give bonuses (or not) or give raises (or not).
