HR Question of the Week

Progressive discipline is a process for addressing performance or behavioral issues with corrective action. Instead of immediately demoting, suspending, or terminating an employee who messes up, you remind them of your policies, give them a chance to do better, and explain the consequences if they don’t. The process usually begins with a relatively informal conversation to address the issue (which would generally count as the “oral warning”) before moving on to a series of written warnings (e.g., first, second, final) followed by termination if the warnings don’t correct the issue.
