A corrective action plan is a progressive means that allows a supervisor to escalate discipline as the occasion demands. This plan is also a formal way to document the facts regarding the scenario that needs to be corrected. The corrective action plan promotes employee job success by identifying unacceptable performance and the causes of unacceptable performance and agreeing on methods to improve employee performance to an acceptable level (Corrective Action, 2011). With this plan, a supervisor can address and correct problems before they escalate to a point of no return and employee actions are so serious that they need to be addressed. Supervisors are responsible for addressing problems in a timely manner, otherwise larger problems could result. One of the challenges to corrective action is that supervisors must choose the level of corrective action for the level of deficiency. Another challenge lies in adequately documenting the corrective action. The report should be thorough and relevant. Even if the corrective solution seems simple, it is essential that this process is fair and consistent for everyone
