Disciplining staff
Do you feel you are letting your staff get away with things you shouldn't because you don't feel confident in using a disciplinary procedure? Are you worried that you will say something wrong which can later be used against you? Do you feel embarrassed because you know that other staff, who do their jobs well and play by the rules, are asking themselves when you are going to deal with someone who doesn’t?
Do any of these statements apply to you when you think about disciplining staff:
· When someone does something wrong, I tell them about it but nothing ever changes
· Some employees are always late getting into work and never let me know when they should
· When someone does something that should be dealt with formally, I never get round to it
· I don't feel comfortable talking to an employee in a formal way
· I often let things go when I should deal with it directly
· I can't afford the time to go through a lengthy disciplinary procedure
· I don't know what I have to do to effectively discipline staff
If so, then you are letting certain members of staff get away with behaviour that should be dealt with and at the same time demoralising your other members of staff who play by the rules.
I can help you deal with these issues by giving you a simple structure and a set of rules to follow which will mean that you will find it easier than you ever thought possible to use a disciplinary procedure. You will see how you can stop people becoming repeat offenders and actually improve their work performance. You will also see, if individuals do not improve, how you can legally and fairly dismiss them from your business.
Using a formal disciplinary procedure is hard work and can be a nerve wracking experience but I will support you through every stage, including when and how to suspend a member of staff. Being confident in using a disciplinary process is well worth the effort and will ensure that you have a workforce that sticks to the rules and has faith that they have a boss that is confident enough to enforce them.
This pack is designed to help you start disciplinary procedures with your employee, with relevant HR knowledge framing your discussion. It contains
