Answer to Question 1

2
Explanation: 1. The first step is to determine whether the employee is aware of the policy. It seems this
employee was not aware of the policy. It would be most appropriate to show the employee
where the policy is written. If the behavior continues it should be documented in the
employees record, monitored, and if it continues a warning should be issued.

Answer to Question 2

2, 4, 1, 3, 5
Explanation: It is important to stay calm and anticipate a reaction from an employee who has been confronted
with an issue. Next, focus on the problem, not the person, and listen to the employees reasoning for
the behavior. Explain why the behavior is unacceptable, agree on steps to change the behavior, and
then arrange for a follow-up.
