Problem:
A method commonly used within organizations is a Progressive Discipline system. Other organizations utilize a variety of methods to resolve conflict such as instituting an open-door policy or peer review.
Discuss how your current or previous organization addresses conflict and/or discipline issues both via formal policy or informal "cultural norms". In your opinion, are the systems in place effective in reducing conflict situations, fostering an environment of collaboration, or changing inappropriate employee behaviors?
Does HR or Management do an effective job of educating employees on conflict resolution strategies and the employee disciplinary process within the organization?
