Steps For Making A Referral
What can EAP do for you   
Positive Confrontation 

1. Choose your time and place carefully.

A. Allow plenty of time - no rushing
B. Private meeting place - your office or conference room.
Definitely Not in front of other employees.

2. Have thorough documentation present during discussion.
3. Judge the performance, not the person.
4. Stick to the facts.
5. Allow person an opportunity to express his/her view, but don't
    discuss or solve the excuses. 

6.
Remain objective.
7. Don't allow angry feelings to creep in. Take time out if you 
   
become angry.  Don't lose your cool!
8. Develop a plan of action and follow-up time to discuss progress
    or lack of it.
