Most employers who offer such services will hand out brochures to keep their employees informed. I wouldn’t take offense to it unless you feel that maybe your supervisor picked up on something that maybe you’re not aware of. If this is the case, take the brochure and gesture as a kind way of knowing someone cares.

@Keith@Norman Rockwell Art,

Speaking of that. Calling someone out has hurt me too. Well, I’ve actually broken a few of these rules. There’s a lot of sensitive people in this world. My biggest adjustment would probably have to be learning that everyone is not like I am. A good punch in the stomach is good for some people, but a ticking time bomb for others. From I see down the line of Jb’s list is a consistency in making sure opinions and feelings(our own and the employee) stay out the door. That can sometimes be harder said than done.

@Extreme John, Y’know, I love the guy, but I don’t always like him. I don’t even know if he is aware that he upsets me so much sometimes.

Leave the comment. He probably wouldn’t even know who it referred to.

@Alan @ Glass Pipes, exactly. You see that a lot in younger associates that get angry and take something work related personal. Craziness.

When you call an employee out in front of other employees, that employee gets resentful, or at least I do and did. Lack of confidentiality is unproductive, unprofessional, ineffective and counter-productive. After that tirade by my boss, I have stopped covering other peoples asses or handling their problems. I prefer to cover my own now. I would not feel this way had ANY common sense or professional courtesy been utilized that day. The sad thing is that the other employees tell me that this place goes straight to hell when I am not here. So apparently the tirade was even more counter-productive than many of his others.

Great advice, John. If not for my comment, I might have recommended it to my boss.

I’ve worked in a bank for more than 10 years prior to my current job and I know that the people down at HR knew about these 9 points. However, I can not say that they adhere to these guidelines strictly. Well, they’re only human after all. What I mean is that I’ve noticed that they, or at least most of them, blatantly disregarded tip #2. When one gets to work in a closesly knit environment like the bank i worked for previously, the HR people sometimes lose that neutrality which is badly needed in their office to the point that some unscrupulous co-workers who have selfish agendas of their own (and who have intentionally developed friendly relations with them) can manipulate them into believing anything they say especially when it comes to judging their fellow employees. Thus, when a counseling session comes, other points gets sacrificed like professionalism, sticking to facts, etc.

Hey, I’m not that naughty, but I did get my share of counseling there.

Hi John,
Every business need employees but main thing is to cater their brain and thoughts at one place.It’s a difficult these days.But all things can be handled by with seminars and counseling.It works well for both employer and employee.
Your idea is really wonderful and more informative for this.

Thanks for the post. I don’t have a big enough business yet to worry about this but the process you have outlined is very important. It’s really important to stay consistent and apply the rules equally to all employees. Also, the last point about not holding grudges is very important…I can’t tell you how many companies I have worked for in the past where the boss and the employee destroyed their working relationship because neither can move on….shit happens, fix it and move on.
