Managing Staff Grievances, Discipline and Disciplinary Procedure at Workplace

Establishing a disciplined work environment, dealing with indiscipline effectively and setting up necessary policies and procedures to ensure that companies follow best practices and comply with legal requirements in disciplinary matters is as important as setting up quality control measures in an FMCG company or an SOP in any organization. This is because research has shown that there is a nexus linking a disciplined workforce, sustainable productivity and increased profitability.

While the internal disciplinary procedures of the individual company may vary depending on a number of factors including size and the company structure, the legal requirements for disciplinary matters are the same. The various disciplinary measures often invoked at workplace by the management such as queries, suspension, termination and dismissal do have legal procedural requirements and implications.
