In fact, most business people prefer to refer to the latter as coaching, rather than discipline. In a situation where there are performance problems, employees may not be willfully doing something that violates your policies and may just need some guidance. Some performance problems may even be the result of morale problems . Employees develop a sense of loyalty toward you and the business. Working conditions are improved.
Productivity is enhanced and maximized.
The coaching process has certain perspectives and behaviors that can be duplicated in the workplace. Both you and your employees must accept the mutual dependence each has on the other in order for each of you to succeed. From that relationship, respect can grow based on the contributions of each party. Where there is respect, it follows that the working environment will be supportive. The opposite is true where there is distrust or conflict.
