ISM LEAD Exam - Topic 1 Question 15 Discussion

Posted by Kimberlie on Oct 24, 2024 at 10:08 PM

Supply management can track supplier performance, send alerts on important dates and generate reports for compliance officers through which of the following?

Suggested Answer: A

Policy Violation: The employee violated the company's strict gift policy by accepting an $80 ticket, which exceeds the $25 limit.

Appropriate Response: Conducting face-to-face training addresses the issue by educating the employee on the company's policies and the importance of adhering to them.

Corrective Action: This approach allows for a constructive discussion, ensuring the employee understands the policy and the reasons behind it, which can prevent future violations.

Proportional Response: While dismissal or other punitive measures may seem excessive for a first-time or minor infraction, training provides a balanced approach to correction and improvement.

Reference: Human resource management best practices emphasize the importance of training and education in addressing policy violations, as discussed in resources like 'Human Resource Management' by Gary Dessler and guidelines from the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM).
