The use of anger management classes in employee discipline
In a perfect world all employees would come to work on time, work diligently and cohesively communicate with their co-workers.
We do not live in a perfect world.
At some point supervisors and human resources managers must discipline an employee for behavior that is disruptive to a corporation and work enviorment.
Employee discipline may include oral warning, written warning, suspension and ultimately discharge.
The goal of employee discipline is to correct unsatisfactory behavior and or improve performance. In many instances the employee may need additional training and coaching to correct behavior.
An anger management course is an effective intervention for employees experiencing stress or exhibiting violent and aggressive behavior. Anger management classes teach communication skills, stress management, and can raise emotional intelligence.
In most cases it is more cost effective to re-train a good employee rather than hire someone new with an unknown capability and attitude.
