Q1. What are the main reasons why supervisors fail to discipline? To what extent is senior management responsible for supervisors’ failure to discipline? To what extent are supervisors responsible for their own lack of action in appropriate disciplining?
Supervisors are human, and wish to be liked. Disciplining a fellow employee can be profoundly disturbing on a personal level. Also, sometimes there is a fear that senior management will not support the supervisor in his or her decision, even if the supervisor is merely fulfilling his or her obligation to the company. If there is pushback, the supervisor may fear he or she will take the fall. Supervisors may be especially reluctant if the employee is popular, or from a group which could give the appearance that the supervisor is engaged in discrimination. The fault lies with the supervisor, if the supervisor is avoiding disciplining to protect his or her reputation, but management must share blame if they have failed in the past to back up legitimate supervisor objections.
Q2. Describe the steps in the progressive discipline procedures.
First, according to McCrie (2015) an actual infraction must have occurred. Secondly, the supervisor should conduct a thorough investigation into the infraction,...
If it is a first mistake, the employee should be given a verbal warning and instructions to prevent it from occurring again, unless of a very severe and malicious nature. If the problem continues to occur, the discipline then becomes progressive, then taking the form of a written warning. If that proves to be ineffective, then the employee will be given a short suspension. If the suspension fails to curb the behavior, then a longer suspension may be needed.
Q3. What role does insurance play against potential wrongful termination actions? How might an insurer seek to defend itself against such a suit?
If the worker brings forth a legal suit against the company for a case of wrongful termination, in most instances the company’s general liability policy will enable it to fund its defense (McCrie, 2016). Broadly written insurance policies generally make the company responsible for defense costs, pretrial expenses, and any judgement made against the defendant (McCrie, 2016). However, insurance companies may attempt to extricate themselves from the obligation of payment through a number…

Security management is "described in some quarters as a function of risk management," (Bulletin 2, Part 2). Although there is some crossover with public sector security functions, such as policing, security management is generally considered a private sector domain. "Whilst private security has a predominantly commercial basis, it should not be forgotten that it does interact with the public to a considerable degree," (Bulletin 2, Part 2). Security management is

The reality is however that legacy systems pose the greatest potential risk to any enterprise, as these platforms are anachronistic in terms of security support, lack many common safeguards, and don't have the necessary Application Programmer Interfaces (APIs) to scale globally as a secured platform (Gupta, Roth, 2007). Legacy systems were designed in an era where single authentication for an entire enterprise system was sufficient enough, and the concept
