Promote a Positive Work Environment

Discipline is never an easy topic. But a well-thought-out policy can make it so. Having a clear disciplinary action plan ensures employees and employers know what’s expected of them and what to expect of others. It helps everyone recognize their responsibilities so that all see the contributions they make, and so everyone works toward a fair, equitable work environment.

Discipline is one subject that employers like to avoid. Our training course can help you approach in a straightforward way to promote a more positive work environment.

Progressive Discipline

A Smarter—Fairer—Disciplinary Policy

Progressive discipline refers to a disciplinary system with escalating penalties upon each repeat offence. Designed to mitigate offences, it helps you manage discipline without being overly punishing.

Upon first offence, the employer might give a member of staff a verbal warning. If the employee repeats the offence, the penalty may escalate to a more serious disciplinary action, such as a written reprimand. Finally, if the offence continues, the employer may resort to suspending or terminating the employee.

Progressive discipline ensures staff members have ample room to learn and grow from their mistakes. It seeks to reduce offences but focusing on teaching, not punishing. It also provides a clear framework to document offences to protect the employer in case of dispute.
