Team effort and cooperation are keys to a healthier, safer work environment. When these factors apply to the office or other jobsite, most people will agree that it is a good thing, and that it is in everyone’s best interest. However, you may find that you have one or more employees who do not follow the rules. Some may break the rules unintentionally, while others are openly defiant.

Noncompliance with the rules of the workplace need to be dealt with as soon as it is noticed, firmly, and fairly. When the rules are fair, and for the good of both the company and its individual workers, making exceptions without a valid reason can result in problems. At its worst, noncompliance can lead to health or safety problems; at its least, it can appear as favoritism, and lower the company’s morale.

The first step to take when an employee is violating a company rule or policy is to be sure that he is aware of the policy. It may be possible that he does not know his actions or behavior is against the rules. If he is aware of it, it is important to not jump to conclusions. It may have been an honest mistake, or something over which he had no control.

If the person is knowingly breaking a rule without a valid reason, corrective measures are necessary. These can range from giving the person a second chance, to terminating him from his job entirely.

For any company to operate smoothly, rules and policies do need to exist. In situations which involve health or safety matters, it is essential for policies to be in effect and to be observed. It is never wise to increase risks in the workplace for the sake of catering to employees who intentionally decide to ignore the rules. It is also never in anyone’s best interest to appear to be showing favoritism to those who break the rules on purpose.

While it is often a good idea to grant a person the benefit-of-the-doubt that perhaps he was not aware of a policy or perhaps it was an unintentional mistake, having one clear set of rules or policies for everyone to follow is the best way to keep company morale strong, and keep the workplace healthy and safe.
