Description of the Incident that Led to this Contact
Jim J. has consistently come in late to work, causing disruptions on the production line. This behavior has become a performance problem that needs to be addressed.
Description of the Contents of My Conversation with the Employee
During our conversation, I approached Jim respectfully and constructively, emphasizing the importance of open communication and his value as an employee. I acknowledged his positive contributions during his first six months on the job, highlighting the potential he showed. Furthermore, I expressed concern about the recent tardiness incidents and their impact on the production line.
I allowed Jim to explain the reasons behind his lateness, making sure to listen attentively and empathetically. This conduct allowed him to share any challenges he might face that could affect his punctuality (Pongton & Suntrayuth, 93). I emphasized that while I understood that personal issues could arise, it is essential to prioritize attendance and timeliness to ensure the smooth operation of the manufacturing facility.

I urged him to take responsibility for his actions and address this issue.

I reassured him that with better attendance and punctuality, he might excel in his position (Chai et al., 57). The dialogue addressed the performance issue while pushing Jim to improve.
