Over the last three units of this course, you have learned the organizational value of downward and upward flow of communication, the role human resources plays in employee counselling, and the advantages of applying progressive discipline in the hope of modifying poor behavior/performance. You have also learned about the important aspect of occupational health and safety (OH&S), the psychological impact of the work environment, and AIDS in the workplace. Finally, you were introduced to the labour-management framework, the role of unions in the workplace, and how a collective agreement is developed and negotiated between the employer and its bargaining agent. Compare and contrast the steps of a progressive discipline system to a positive discipline approach. Which process do you feel would hold greater value to an organization? Justify your response.
