Areas in which perofrmance is in question or requires attention mandates that the manager and employee develop a performance enhancement plan. The manager is required to review the employees progress at a predetermined period that both parties agree to. Having a written employee response to the review gives the employee a means to voice his/her comments as part of the process and something seperate from it.

I feel like I have no way to have my voice heard. And don't say go to HR as she is the director.

It amazes me how emplyees get really nice to me from Thanksgiving to Christmas when I am preparing end of the year reviews, and suggestions for Christmas Bonuses. It takes more than one month to turn around bad behavior incidents and careless mistakes. To solve this, I suggest re-reviewing the employee in 30 or 60 days to see if an improvemnt has been made.
