Discipline at Work Place

Image
A n effective discipline program is beneficial to both the employer and employee. It helps employees correct any shortcomings with the goal of becoming a valuable, contributing member of the workforce. Documentation created as a result of the discipline process can also help protect an employer in the event that a termination or other adverse employment decision becomes necessary. It is useful to view the matter of discipline as having several components: issues that must be addressed before administering discipline; methods of disciplining, including progressive discipline; how to provide employees with an opportunity to respond to discipline, such as a grievance program; and laws relevant to termination.

Employee motivation

Image
  Employee motivation is all about how engaged an employee feels in tandem to the organization’s goals and how empowered he/she feels. Motivation is of two types: Intrinsic motivation -  Intrinsic motivation means that an individual is motivated from within. He/she has the desire to   perform well at the workplace because the results are in accordance with his/her belief system.

Training & Development of Workforce

Image
  INTRODUCTION Employees are a company’s biggest asset, and investing in talent is vital to sustainable business growth and success. Businesses go through lengthy processes to recruit and hire qualified and suitable staff, but often the emphasis on caring about employees stops there. According to a Gallup study, workgroups that engaged in employee development saw a sales increase and profits double compared to workgroups that didn’t engage at all. Dedicated training and development fosters employee engagement, and engagement is critical to your company’s financial performance.

Impact Of The COVID-19 On Employees & Organizations

Image
  In order to bring the new coronavirus pandemic in the country under control, the government of Sri Lanka implemented a set of control strategies including social distancing, quarantine, lockdowns, travel restrictions, and isolation of villages.

This had a number of immediate organizational design implications, caused by physical distance becoming an important contingency. Generally, employers have a duty to ensure the safety and health of their workers and others in the workplace. This includes providing and maintaining a work environment that is without risk to health and safety and adequate facilities for workers in carrying out their work, as is reasonably practicable. 1 Most national health...

Human Resource management is also known as HRM, Personnel or talent management. We all are concordant on a point that the duties of HRM are shaping in the new form.
