When Coaching or Corrective Action May Be Administered

Types of Coaching and Corrective Actions

1. Verbal Coaching (supportive measure)

   A verbal coaching is a conversation with an Employee to address minor or initial unmet Employment Expectations. Leadership should keep a record of verbal coaching, including the date and the concerns communicated. Examples of a record might include a follow-up e-mail or notes of the conversation.

2. Coaching Plan (supportive measure)

   A coaching plan is a documented plan between Leadership and the Employee to address and correct minor or initial unmet performance-related Employment Expectations. Coaching plans may include training or other measures to support Employees in developing skills, enhancing productivity, or overcoming a performance-related concern. Coaching plans are not typically suitable for behavior-related concerns. A Coaching Plan form is available via the HR Forms Index.

3. Written Corrective Action (corrective measure)

   A written corrective action is a written document provided to the Employee to address repeated failures of an Employee to meet Employment Expectations, or an initial incident of unmet Employment Expectations of a more serious nature. A Corrective Action Memo shall be used to issue a written corrective action and should be reviewed by HR prior to delivery. The Corrective Action Memo is available via the HR Forms Index.

4. Final Corrective Action (corrective measure)

   A final corrective action is a written document provided to the Employee to address repeated failures of an Employee to meet Employment Expectations after the imposition of prior Coaching and/or Corrective Action, or for initial unmet Employment Expectations that involve unacceptable behavior and/or misconduct of a more severe nature. Final corrective action should be regarded as the final opportunity to meet Employment Expectations and should be reviewed by HR prior to delivery. A Corrective Action Memo shall be used to issue a final corrective action and is available via the HR Forms Index.

5. Separation Initiated by Leadership

   Separation initiated by Leadership may be used when an Employee fails to meet Employment Expectations after the imposition of prior Coaching and/or Corrective Action, or for initial unmet Employment Expectations that involve unacceptable behavior and/or misconduct of a severe or pervasive nature. A Separation should be reviewed by HR prior to taking action, and must be taken in accordance with the procedures in Policy 3.41 / Separation of Employment.
