Topic: Disciplinary Action
Part 1a: A Quick Guide to Employee Discipline
Employee discipline is not about punishment; it is about correcting behavior, maintaining standards, and supporting performance. In professional settings, discipline should be handled calmly, fairly, and consistently. The goal is to address issues early, before they become serious problems that affect the team or the organization.
Part 1b: Brainstorm
Let’s come up with situations where a manager might need to discipline an employee. These could be minor scenarios (such as being late), or serious offences (such as stealing from coworkers).
Part 2: Informal Disciplinary Conversations
Some problems at work can be addressed early with an informal conversation. Watch a video and answer the questions.
Vocabulary:
head in the sand: (idiom) refuse to acknowledge a problem
fester: (v.) become worse or more intense
entrenched: (adj.) firmly established and difficult to change
nip in the bud: (idiom) to stop something before it is able to develop.
Part 3: Roleplay
Let’s practice conducting an informal disciplinary conversation.
