Some examples may help clarify just what advocacy is: 1  You join a group that helps build houses for the poor--that's wonderful, but it's not advocacy (it's a service). 2  You organize and agitate to get a proportion of apartments in a new development designated as low to moderate income housing-that's advocacy.
Modern managers also realize that effective employee discipline is more of a mindset than a physical action. By focusing on the needs of employees, and the human relations aspect of the management job, managers are able to foster the development of dedication in employees.
What is progressive discipline? Progressive discipline is a process for dealing with job-related behaviour that does not meet performance standards. It is the role of the manager to provide clear expectations, identify performance problems and provide feedback to correct the problem. Unfortunately progressive discipline is often viewed as punishment on the road to termination.
