All employees are expected to meet performance standards and behave appropriately in the workplace. Disciplinary or corrective action is a process of communicating with the employee to improve unacceptable behavior or performance. You may take disciplinary action when other methods such as coaching and performance appraisal have not been successful.
In cases of serious misconduct, you may choose to proceed straight to disciplinary action. When deciding what disciplinary action to take, keep in mind that discipline is supposed to be constructive.
Your goal is to guide the employee to correct performance or behavior, not to punish the employee. As a general rule, your action should be just enough to get the employee's attention. However, you may have to take progressively more serious actions if there is no improvement or if repeat occurrences follow.
