About this lesson
The video distinguishes between positive discipline (systems and controls that prevent misconduct) and negative discipline (sanctions and warnings), then explores the common grounds for disciplinary action: excessive absenteeism, poor work performance, timekeeping issues, disruptive behaviour, safety violations, insubordination, dress code breaches, and rule violations. You'll also discover how off-the-job problems—such as substance abuse or damaging public statements—can trigger organisational discipline, and how the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (Acas) provides formal frameworks for resolving disputes through conciliation, mediation, and arbitration. Understanding these procedures will help you recognise when and how disciplinary measures are justified, and how organisations balance fairness with maintaining standards and productivity.
