Briefly describe the progressive discipline system.

         

ANSWER

Progressive discipline ties reprimand to the severity of the employee’s infractions. Penalties for misbehavior vary according to the significance of the problem. A progressive discipline system takes into consideration such things as:

•        The seriousness of the problem

•        How frequently it has occurred

•        How long it lasts

•        Past experiences in dealing with the person who has caused the problem

          The goal is to achieve compliance with organizational expectations through the least extreme reprimand possible.
