Discipline and Reprimand is fraught with pitfalls for the
unwary. Handled well, disciplinary procedures can benefit all.
Overview
Discipline originally meant “to judge by correct
standards.” Today the quantity of employment legislation has had a
dramatic impact on disciplinary procedures. What a manager/team
leader may consider to be flexible or compassion may inadvertently
lead the organisation into an expensive course of action. Breaches
of employment law and disciplinary procedures may be inadvertently
created. Precedents may be inadvertently created. Done properly,
the use of disciplinary procedures and skills are an effective
part of the manager’s/team leader’s armoury. They help to define
standards and bring hidden problems to the surface. Reprimand
skills can quickly correct undesirable behaviour without loss of
motivation.
In this practical and continually updated course, participants
will learn the key skills and how to avoid common and expensive
errors.
Who Should Attend
All Managers, Team Leaders and Supervisors involved in
carrying out reprimands and disciplinary meetings. Even
experienced participants will find this valuable as a refresher
and for additional skills.
