People who work in business and corporate organisations often overlook the fact that every limitation of their employees and staff methods are their own responsibility to nurture. The staff need to be given effective training in needed areas and should be approached in a constructive and caring manner. Disciplinary methods are often incorporated to strike fear into the minds of employees which weakens them rather than bringing them up to a satisfactory level of achievement. There is nothing wrong with a disciplinary scheme however the dominant area of application needs to be the learning process for the company and employees to progress forward rather than deteriorate. Rewards instead of reductions clearly motivate the staff which would help them operate more effectively allowing them to take a happier and healthier approach towards their work. Suitable action can then be executed in confidence that the work has not been completed to satisfaction even though the company has provided the best possible conditions to resolve the matter. Responsibility then moves from management to employee. By doing this we create a much more effective working environment for all concerned including ourselves.
