LESSON 1 THE DISCIPLINE OF COUNSELING

The counseling process is initiated and executed at the department level by the supervisor and is
not discipline. It is a face-to-face communication between the supervisor and the employee,
conducted in private, and is intended to have a constructive goal of providing feedback to the
employee to correct the problem.
