Disciplinary Policy

Although things may get uncomfortable, discipline training in the workplace is often necessary. Organizations need training and planning. Before you develop this type of strategy yourself, it is important to know what a disciplinary action policy is, when it needs to be applied to your situation, and how to develop your skills. Workplace disciplinary action is any response to faults or rule violations at work. All workplace rules are listed in your company’s manual. Disciplinary action may range from a verbal or written admonition to a suspension or even a termination, depending on the severity of the infraction.

A disciplinary action policy identifies and standardizes procedures for responding to incidents that go against company policy. A well-written disciplinary action policy clearly states your company’s rules and the consequences that happen if those rules are broken.
