Question:
"We recruited a supervisor who left after six months' service. We now discover that the standards of both behaviour and productivity dropped during the period he ran his section. We need to bring these back to a satisfactory level, but does that mean that we have to agree new contracts of employment?"
HR tip:
Not if what you are asking the employees to do is in their original employment contracts and you wish to bring them up to the standards they originally worked. You would need to renegotiate contracts only if you wished them to undertake new duties or raise their performance significantly above the standard they operated when they first took on the work. Pity you did not monitor the new supervisor's performance.
