Incident Description and Supporting Details: Include the following information: Time, Place, Date of Occurrence, and Persons Present as well as Organizational Impact.

Roger,

It has come to management’s attention that while in the elevator you attempted to kiss a fellow worker whom you previously dated after that individual explained to you that she is no longer interested in a personal relationship beyond work. Indeed, since you dated her last year, she has become engaged to another person.

In our meeting, you shared that you “went over the line” because you still have feelings for her, work side by side with her on a daily basis, go to lunch with the same group of friends, and occasionally meet after hours at the gym. You admitted that you “lost focus” in terms of respecting her wishes to be left alone. Finally, you stated that you will respect her in the future and maintain an appropriate distance.

 

PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT PLAN

1. Measurable/Tangible Improvement Goals: Roger, I expect you to adhere to the commitments you made in terms of respecting your coworker’s rights regarding her personal life and her right to feel comfortable working side by side with you.
