Part 1: Discipline
The problems that supervisors most commonly encounter among employees are absenteeism and tardiness, insubordination and uncooperativeness, alcohol and drug abuse, workplace violence, and theft. Often the most constructive way a supervisor can address a problem behavior is through counseling. Discipline, which is used to prevent employees from breaking rules and to quickly bring about a change in behavior, must be applied in a constructive way also.
Before administering discipline, supervisors need to have a clear understanding of the situation by knowing all the facts. Disciplining occurs in as many as four progressive steps: warnings, suspension, demotion, and dismissal. Supervisors must be careful to motivate and correct rather than to generate hostility and resentment. Supervisors must: follow organizational procedures, union requirements, and laws regarding fair employment practices.
