A CV, also known as a résumé, is a summary of your professional background. Your CV should be one to two pages long and include an overview of your work experience, studies, achievements or awards, special skills, and references. Your contact information should always be included at the top of the first page. http://work.sweden.se/

The company will review your documents and contact you if you have gone forward to the interview stage of the recruitment process. The employer already knows your basic qualifications; during the interview, you have the chance to show your enthusiasm for the job at hand and give the employer a sense of who you are as a person. Don’t be surprised if some of the questions asked are not directly work-related – be prepared to talk about your family and what you do in your free time.

UNIT 5

Employee Discipline and Termination

Ice breaking questions.

Do you personally like discipline? Do you like to be disciplined?

What are the advantages of the discipline?

What is the motive behind the discipline?

Have you ever fired an employee? Is it easy to fire an employee?

Read and comprehend the texts.

A. Effective discipline can protect organization. Everyone benefits when rules and consequences for violations are carefully formulated, clearly communicated, and consistently carried out. Many potential challenges are often resolved before they get out of hand.

Employee termination is often the last step in an unsuccessful attempt to help a worker meet work standards. Confronting employees during a disciplinary or termination interview takes much interpersonal skill and preparation. Throughout this kind of interview, it is important to distinguish between the employee as a person, and any unwanted behavior, so as to avoid building artificial walls between the supervisor and worker. If the employee needs to be disciplined or terminated, this is best done while permitting the employee to preserve as much dignity as possible.

Management can help coach and mentor an employee into improving his or her performance or behavior, but at the end it is the worker who must decide if the job is worth the effort. The responsibility to improve behavior must remain with the employee.

B. Reasons to fire/ terminate employee:

• poor effort (e.g., working at a reduced speed, poor quality, tardiness, sleeping on the job, absenteeism, wasting time);

• poor co-worker relations (e.g., fighting on the job, lack of cooperation);

• inadequate subordinate-supervisor relations (e.g., insubordination);

• inadequate supervisor-subordinate relations (e.g., favoritism, withholding of key information, mistreatment, abuse of power);

• workplace violence (e.g., verbal or physical abuse, threats, bullying);

• dishonesty, espionage and theft;

· violation of safety rules and other practices (e.g., not wearing safety equipment, carrying weapons on the job, drug and alcohol abuse). http://nature.berkeley.edu/ucce50/ag-labor/7labor/14.htm

C. There are different degrees of " punishment " to deal with offenses. Tools to respond to offenses include (1) communication of the standard, (2) disapproval, (3) verbal warning, (4) written warning, (5) suspension, and (6) termination.
