Question

First, briefly describe a disciplinary problem in your workplace (e.g. poor attendance, low performance, insubordination, etc.). If you do not have an actual example, create a hypothetical yet realistic scenario for the purpose of this forum. Provide a sufficient amount of detail so that the circumstances/context are communicated (do not, however, provide names of employees if you are sharing an actual example from your workplace)

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The question didn't say what should be done after creating the hypothetical scenario of a disciplinary problem in the workplace.

I will herefore give examples of disciplinary problems in a work environment:

1. Poor Attendance

This is a situation whereby employees or workers skip work days. Where they are supposed to be at work 5 days in a week but instead go for 3 or 4 days, is a big challenge to pay attention to.

2. Lateness

This occurs when workers arrive after the stipulated time that they should be at work. This means that they delay the company's day job and backlogs pile up.

3. Low performance

This is the situation whereby employees do not meet the required quantity or quality of work to be done.

4. Carelessness

This is another problem that would require discipline at a place of work. Loss of items and important files could cost the firm greatly. A little item lost could imply a big contract lost.

5. Insubordination

This is the refusal of some members of staff to obey laid out rules and regulations by their superiors or by the company's staff policy. Insubordination will prevent the smooth flow of work because when junior oppose the instructions of their superiors, work is paused and may eventually never be done.
