A corrective action plan is a progressive means that allows a supervisor to intensify discipline as appropriate. This plan is also a formal way of documenting the facts regarding the scenario to be corrected. The corrective action plan promotes employee career success by identifying unacceptable performance and the cause(s) of unacceptable performance, and agreeing on methods to improve employee performance to an acceptable level (Corrective Action, 2011 ). Through this plan, a supervisor can address and correct problems before they escalate to the point of no return and employee actions are so egregious that they must be terminated. Supervisors are responsible for resolving issues in a timely manner, otherwise it could also lead to bigger problems. One of the challenges of corrective action is that supervisors must choose the level of corrective action based on the level of deficiency. Another challenge is properly documenting corrective actions. The report must be complete and accurate. Even if the corrective measures seem simple, it is imperative that this process is fair and consistent for everyone.
