How to use it

Your first 15 minutes

The 4 steps below run in the order they are numbered, and by the last one you open the Floor Conversation Scripts.

  1. Read the Playbook first. It is the manual for the job: what you own as a supervisor, how to run check-ins and give feedback, what to document, and when a situation goes to HR.

  2. Print the Quick Reference and keep it where you will see it. It is the at-a-glance layer on top of the Playbook, the five things to do each week and the lines you do not cross.

  3. Set up the Workbook. List your crew by shift, start the handoff log tonight, then log each check-in and note as you go, and let the dashboard tell you who is overdue and who needs attention.

  4. When a hard conversation comes, open the Floor Conversation Scripts. Use the script for the situation almost word for word, write it up on the bilingual forms where discipline is involved, and keep the documentation log running all year.
