Rationale 1: The manager should keep notes on everything discussed regarding discipline. This would benefit the institution.
Rationale 2: Even though coaching is done in short sessions, it should be documented.
Rationale 3: Intervention in less than 1 day shows that the manager was aware of and quickly handling problems.
Rationale 4: The HR director would be party to problems with employees. This does not violate confidentiality.
Rationale 5: This note could be a problem for the institution as it is the manager's opinion, not a defensible fact.
