Very often what appears to be a discipline problem about attendance or drinking turns out to have different underlying causes. These are frequently family or personal problems. Managers need to be able to sort information to get to the cause of misconduct in order to be able to make objective decisions about any disciplinary or other action.
The introduction is a short, fun exercise using picture puzzles to try out logical reasoning. Participants then work in pairs to interview each other, taking roles in two different case studies. Small groups then make decisions about disciplinary action based on these interviews, and the full group then discuss their use of skills in sorting information to help manage family problems. Participants complete a learning log to develop their ideas on good practice in managing discipline related to family problems. These ideas are extended through conversations with others before a final list is produced.
Who is it for: This training resource is intended for use by trainers to help participants to practise the skills of sorting information in order to develop ideas for good practice in managing discipline in relation to family problems
