Documentation: Reduce your County's Risk
Speaker: Ms. Cheraun Blankenship, Human Resources Consultant, TAC
As supervisors, we have been taught that documentation is a critical component within any county. Documentation is a recording of evidence or information about employment events that can be formal or informal. Although it is most often thought about when terminating an employee, documentation is also a crucial part of hiring and job preservation, in the form of job descriptions and performance reviews. In this session, attendees will learn why documentation is important, how it relates to job descriptions and when it needs to be a priority! |
