Progressive discipline

Examples of Progressive discipline in the following topics:

• Employee Discipline

  • Corrective discipline and progressive discipline are the two most common disciplinary systems in the workplace:
  • First, progressive discipline sets forth clear but general steps that must be completed for all infractions.
  • Documentation is crucial in cases of employee discipline.
  • Other less common forms of discipline include demotion, transfer, and withholding of bonuses.
  • The next form of discipline is typically suspension.

• Managers as Leaders of Change

  • Create a definable strategy - Define measurable stakeholder aims, create a business case for their achievement (and keep it continuously updated), monitor assumptions, risks, dependencies, costs, return on investment, and cultural issues affecting the progress of the associated work.
  • The integrated leader - The integrated leader searches for ways to use the structure and discipline of what Harding and Rouse (2007) called "human due diligence" (the leadership practice of understanding the culture of an organization and the roles, capabilities, and attitudes of its people) as individual change projects are created and implemented.

• Managing Organizational Priorities

  • Agendas may also be used as a means of highlighting current progress and projecting future progress.
  • Agendas showing project progress are often used by contractors and those in the field of project management.
  • An agenda sometimes combines a process flow and a checklist, where employees and management involved in a given operational process track progress and provide updates.
  • The image above illustrates a Gantt chart, which uses a bar graph to show progress toward completion.

• Evidence-Based Management

  • This is quite challenging, because management is much less tangible and measurable than many other scientific disciplines.
  • Discuss the modern organizational theory perspective on utilizing evidence-based strategies, as is common in many science disciplines, to make business decisions

• Social Innovation

  • Social innovation is often an effort of mental creativity that involves fluency and flexibility across a wide range of disciplines.
  • The act of social innovation in a sector encompasses diverse disciplines within society.

• McClelland's Need Theory

  • They enjoy work and place a high value on discipline.

• Upward Communication

  • Whistle-blowing involves upward communication when employees communicate directly with top management about matters requiring attention or discipline (e.g., harassment from another employee), including perceived ethical or legal breaches.

• Overview of Inputs to Strategic Planning

  • Preparing a business plan draws on a wide range of knowledge from many different business disciplines: finance, human resource management, intellectual-property management, supply-chain management, operations management, and marketing.
  • It can be helpful to view the business plan as a collection of subplans, one for each of the main business disciplines.

• The Importance of Performance Targets

  • Success can be defined as progress towards strategic or operational goals such as zero defects, percentage of customer satisfaction (or retention), profitability margins, etc.
  • Goal setting is an effective tool for progressive organizations, because it provides a sense of direction and purpose.

• Setting the Right Goals

  • Work on the theory of goal-setting suggests that it is an effective tool for progress, primarily through ensuring that participants in a group with a common goal are clearly aware of what is expected from them (and able to measure it).
  • Setting goals requires both the foresight to perceive future obstacles and a scale in which to measure and benchmark progress.
  • Measurable: The ability to measure and assess progress quantitatively is useful in goal setting, as it provides motivational checkpoints and ensures progress stays on track.
