| Overview: The disciplinary hearing is the grand set-piece of any disciplinary procedure. For many organisations, a disciplinary hearing runs contrary to best management practice and is an admission that management, as well as employees, have failed. However, given the nature of human frailty and human temptation, disciplinary hearings, with their connotations of guilt, judgment and punishment, are often the only possible responses to cases of serious misconduct and unacceptable workplace behaviour. |
