No employer wants to have to discipline an employee. Perhaps this is why so many employers put off helping a poor performing employee?

Disciplinary processes take time, create their own workload, and are emotionally draining for everyone involved, not to mention the disruption in the organisation that they can potentially create.

Prevention is Better Than a Cure

The Abeceder H2R performance management module has been designed to comply with the Acas code.

When used correctly the Abeceder performance management module should remove the need for formal performance related disciplinary action.

Of course, having the functionality is only useful when both managers and employees know how to use the tools. That is why Abeceder H2R includes access to the extensive catalogue of learning resources and training courses of Work Place Learning Centre.

Our team of training professionals can also create learning opportunities that are specific to your organisation.

When Disciplinary Action is Required 

When the need for employee disciplinary action arises managers can record every stage of the disciplinary processes from informal conversations to formal warnings within the discipline module of Abeceder H2R.

Comprehensive how to guides make sure that managers follow the disciplinary policy and procedure correctly and comply with the Acas code.

The employees’ guide to employment helps to make sure your employee understands the disciplinary process and can contribute to that process in a positive way.

Performance improvement objectives can be recorded within Abeceder H2R. That process can include prompts for managers to ensure follow-up actions are completed as scheduled.

Any new skills or knowledge that the disciplinary process has identified the employee needs can be sourced from the extensive catalogue of learning resources and training courses.
