How to carry out effective discipline
Use this DVD-based training programme to equip your managers with the skills and knowledge they need to carry out effective disciplinary interviews. The ACT FAIR approach to dealing with discipline illustrated in the drama video shows managers how to conduct informal disciplinary interviews that have a specific and measurable outcome. It shows managers why they should ''ACT'' and how they should ''ACT''. It also shows that ''doing nothing'' is not an option.
