Managers and supervisors are usually the first members of the company to notice that an employee has done (or not done) something that warrants discipline. Those situations require complete, accurate and timely documentation.
Frontline managers are HR’s partners in making sure the organization has a clear record justifying any official act that affects employees. That’s why it is critical to train managers how to create documentation.
