To document an insubordinate employee, begin by clearly detailing the specific incidents of insubordination, including dates, times, and descriptions of the behavior. Include relevant evidence such as emails or witness statements, and note previous warnings or discussions about the behavior. Ensure the documentation is objective, factual, and free from personal opinions to maintain professionalism and support any potential disciplinary actions. I like to think of my supervisory role as being "Joe Friday" from Dragnet. Just the facts. Ultimately, we want the employee to improve. But if they can't, we want to know what has happened in the past that drives movement toward dismissal if necessary.
