Many supervisors put off disciplining employees hoping the problem will "go away." Facing the problem but avoiding undue mistakes in employee discipline can be achieved by following the "Five F Formula" offered by Labor Consultant

William Gutwein:

(1) Friendly: Be friendly at all times. Every other step you take should be based on this foundation.

(2) Frank: If someone makes a mistake, be frank about it. Discuss it so the person knows exactly what was done wrong and exactly what to do to prevent a recurrence.

(3) Fair: If no improvement is seen, be willing to re-examine the problem. Don't automatically conclude that the employee is wrong, but listen to what he,/she has to say. The person might have a good reason for the behavior.
