Response When Early Warning Signs Occur at Level One
 * Observe the behavior in question.
 * Report concerns to your supervisor to seek help in assessing/responding to the situation. If the offending employee is the reporting employee's immediate supervisor, the employee should notify the next level of supervision. If the offending person is not an employee, the supervisor of the employee reporting the incident is still the appropriate individual to receive and provide initial response.
 * Document the observed behavior in question.
 * Supervisor should Meet with the offending employee to discuss concerns. Follow these procedures:
 * Schedule private time and place.
 * Coordinate any necessary union participation.
 * Get straight to the point.
 * Ask the employee for his or her input.
 * Ask the employee what should be done about the behavior.
 * Ask how you can help.
 * Identify the performance and/or conduct problems that are of concern.
 * Identify the steps you would like to see to correct problems.
 * Set limits on what is acceptable behavior and performance.
 * Establish time frames to make changes and subsequent consequences for failing to correct behavior and/or performance.
 * Department's policies.
