Performance and conduct

A team member's work has slipped, or their behaviour has raised a concern. The first job is to separate what you know from what you assume.

Example scenario. Not legal advice.

Tuarity / performance concernDemo scenario

A manager starts with a real-world question.

Plain language in. Context and sources out.

Manager question

“A team member's work quality has dropped and a client has complained. How should I raise it?”

What is already known

Two missed deadlines and one written client complaint in the last eight weeks.

What needs confirming

Whether expectations were set in writing, what support has been given, and any change in personal circumstances.

Review required: Start informally

Raise specific examples first. Do not open a formal process before the facts are clear.

Guidance, not a decision. Review required where the matter could lead to formal action.

The manager's scenario

“A team member's work quality has dropped and a client has complained. How should I raise it?”

Facts to gather

  • Specific, dated examples of the concern
  • What expectations were set, and whether they were written down
  • Feedback, training or support already given
  • Any change in the employee's circumstances or workload

The role of company policy

Your performance and disciplinary policies set out the stages, who runs each one and what must be recorded. Tuarity points to the relevant section so the process you follow matches the one you published.

The role of jurisdiction guidance

Jurisdiction guidance covers fair procedures: the employee should know the concern, see the evidence and have a fair chance to respond and improve before any formal outcome.

Pause or escalate when

  • The issue may be linked to health, disability or a personal crisis
  • You are considering a final warning or dismissal
  • The employee has raised a grievance, a discrimination concern or a protected disclosure

What Tuarity helps you prepare

  • A fact-gathering checklist
  • An informal conversation guide
  • A draft improvement plan for your review

Every output is a draft for your review. You decide what happens next.

Make the next people decision easier to stand behind.
