Operations management includes the implementation of a public sector agency’s policies and procedures. These processes should be well-documented and followed consistently or there could be risks of low employee morale and grievances, union grievances, and potential lawsuits.
You work in the personnel department at a state agency. Your manager has asked you to review and revise the agency’s current progressive discipline policy. The policy has received many complaints including that it is not applied consistently across the agency. Your manager will share your revised policy with the local union in two weeks. The union will have to agree to the revised policy for it to go into effect.
Students can use a progressive discipline policy from a state agency that they find online as the current policy for this assignment.
Your 1,400- to 1,750-word Discipline Policy Report should do the following:
Summarize the current progressive discipline policy.
Examine at least 3 areas where the current policy can be improved.
Discuss ways to improve the current policy in the identified areas.
Create a new progressive discipline policy that resolves your areas of improvement.
Justify each step where you changed the policy.
List actions that would go to immediate termination (for example, physical violence or drug use) and would not utilize the progressive discipline policy.
Discuss the potential reaction to the change in policy by the union.
Discuss tools and techniques to support the consistent implementation of the new policy throughout the agency.
Format your assignment according to APA guidelines.
Provide a minimum of 2 academic references.
Submit your assignment.
