Best Practices for Performance Management

OHR is hosting a training for supervisors to learn more about best practices for coaching, counseling and disciplinary action. This training session will help supervisors set clear expectations, identify performance concerns, and determine the appropriate level of action based on TU policies.  This session is specifically recommended for new supervisors. Learn more and register for this session and other professional development opportunities through the OHR Training Calendar. For questions, email hrtraining@towson.edu.
