Discipline is an approach used by management to modify undesirable performance and behavior through the use of a corrective action process. At the onset of any employee performance or conduct issues, supervisors are strongly encouraged to contact Employee Relations staff for assistance.

Employees should receive training, coaching, and constructive feedback to assist in modifying their performance. Timely, appropriate, and continous feedback is essential to maintain effective performance. Inappropriate behavior/performance must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and judged by the severity of the infraction.
