Poor performance isn’t just frustrating—it’s expensive. It can drag down morale, frustrate high-performing team members, and even cost your company in lost revenue, client satisfaction, and legal risk.
Here’s what every manager, supervisor, and business owner needs to know about the real cost of tolerating underperformance—and what to do about it.
Key Points:
The Ripple Effect: Poor performers decrease productivity, but also cause frustration and disengagement among their peers.
Client Impact: Mistakes and inefficiencies can lead to customer complaints, bad reviews, and lost contracts.
Legal Risk: Failing to document and address performance issues can hurt you in unemployment claims or wrongful termination lawsuits.
Fix It Strategy:
- Clarify expectations from the start.
- Ensure employees have the tools and training they need.
- Use documented Performance Improvement Plans (PIPs).
- Know when to take corrective disciplinary action.
