Do some behaviours or conduct exhibited by employees concern you?
Well at some point you might need to take disciplinary action against an employee if you find that your informal chats about their behaviour is making no difference.
After all if their unacceptable behaviour continues, it can potentially have a negative impact on how your business runs.
Whether it’s someone not pulling their weight, which can lead to a demotivated, disengaged team; bullying or harassment, which can cause stress and depression; or even something like theft or fraud, which could be costly, these behaviours need to be dealt with in a timely manner before they create a company-wide issue.
And when you get to the point of taking formal action, it’s essential that you do things the right way as failing to follow your disciplinary procedure could cost you dearly.
So before you commence down the disciplinary procedure, you need to understand what the process involves. With that in mind, I have put together a handy guide called “Need to take Disciplinary Action?”, which provides practical advice on how you can effectively manage performance and conduct in your business through your Disciplinary Procedures.
