Positive Approach to Discipline
May 21, 2003
"When you go to bed
with a clear head, you will never rise with a headache.” �"Greek proverb
POSITIVE APPROACH TO
DISCIPLINE
The March 1983 issue of Child Care Information Exchange offers
this insight:
"Positive tactics, like threats and suspension without pay, rarely work
to solve employee discipline problems. According to Jack Horn, writing
in Psychology Today (June 1978), a positive approach usually gets better results.
For example, if an employee repeats an offense after his supervisor has
talked with him twice before about it, the employee should be granted "decisionmaking"
leave -- a day off with pay to decide whether he wants to stay with the organization.
No threats or reprimands should be made up to this point. However,
if the employee decides to stay and commits the offense again, he should then
be fired."
Back issues of Child Care Information Exchange are available in the Exchange Bookstore at www.ChildCareExchange.com.
