The Discipline Dilemma You were recently promoted to Internal Audit Director and

The Discipline Dilemma
You were recently promoted to Internal Audit Director and now manage a team of 12 individuals; they are professional employees who range in title from Administrative Assistant to Audit Manager. They are highly educated and very experienced.  Your staff routinely travels to over 200 global locations performing internal audits on the company’s facilities.
Elizabeth, one of your Audit Managers, has been with the company for over 10 years. She is habitually absent from work, Monday or Friday being her favorite day to call in. Before you were promoted, the previous Director did not address the situation, and she has a total of 36 absences in the past 12 months.  Her work gets done, but you notice periodically that she functions in “crisis mode” in order to meet deadlines, and it affects her coworkers’ workloads.  Her behavior is impacting the morale in your department.
You are considering disciplinary action.  The company has no formal attendance policy.  Employees do not earn a bank of sick days.  They are expected to attend work unless there are emergency circumstances.  Extended absences (more than three consecutive days) are considered a short-term disability and require documentation.
Questions:
You have three options – you can discipline, dismissal, or take no action.  What are the pros/cons of each alternative?  Which alternative will you choose?  Explain how your decision impacts employee relations in your department. 
Assume disciplinary action is necessary.  Using what you know from chapter 12, develop a strategy on how you would discipline Elizabeth.
Responses copied from an internet source, out of the text, or from homework sites earn no credit, as they are a violation of College Academic Integrity Policy.

People Are The Competitive Advantage
As we read in Chapter 3, functional strategy is the the level of strategy that each department must do to help the organization meet it’s goals and objective.  Human Resources Strategy help shape the skills and behaviors necessary to achieve goals.  The video below is an explanation that a full time faculty member, Prof. McLean, has recorded for you, and I think it should be very helpful.  Please view it for more details.
Review this handout – Strategy at Macomb Community College and post your initial responses here to the following:
Your two top strategy actions that would support the mission and the vision
The employee behaviors necessary to carry out the strategies you mentioned in #1.
Replies are very specific this week. They should be an evaluation of your classmate’s response to #2 above.  Determine what you think HR Functional Strategies (policies and procedures) are needed in order to produce the necessary employee behaviors.  Tip:  View the Professor’s Discussion for specific information on HR functional strategy.
Posts and replies should be complete thoughts, add value, and be written using College English.  They should also contain examples and/or reference to the text/lecture where appropriate.  Be sure to check back regularly and answer any questions posed to you.  See the course syllabus for the quantity requirements and for more details.
Note:  You won’t have access to others’ posts until you post in the forum.
