Hi, I'm facing a lot of problems while maintaining discipline in the office. The staff doesn't have a responsible attitude towards work, and they are neither punctual nor regular. Kindly help me in framing the right rules to maintain the decorum in the office.

Dear A. Singh,
What is your designation? Are you the owner or from the HR Department? Have you discussed the problem of indiscipline with your MD? What are his/her views?
Indiscipline is a matter of the organization's culture. Your MD has allowed things to come to an unwieldy situation. Had he/she been strict right from the first day, this issue would not have come up.
As for a solution, firstly, talk to your MD. If he is also concerned, ask him whether he is inclined to take strict disciplinary action. Secondly, implementing reforms is a time-consuming process, and behavioral reforms are no exception. However, to start, conduct training on business etiquette.
Lastly, have you set targets for your employees? You need to overhaul your Performance Management System (PMS). When measurements are not accurate, the organization faces challenges like these.
Thanks,

You need to have an in-house discussion with senior people of the organization and come to a common ground on basic rules. The firm's culture of discipline needs to be put in place, starting with senior leaders setting examples. A circular should be sent to all employees outlining certain dos and don'ts, and the introduction of an incentive scheme for performance can be considered.

Discipline and decorum are something that should have been ingrained within the individual during his or her formative years as a child and later on as an adult. If that does not take place, and if such people come to work, they spread their indiscipline and behavior among other people. Consequently, the whole office will be chaotic. Whoever is in charge of the organization needs to call all the people to assemble and explain to them the benefits of being disciplined and organized. You can give a futuristic date, not far off, maybe from the first of the next month, and inform them that attendance and punctuality will be monitored and maintained. As for a noisy or chaotic office, that should be handled forthwith, without a timeframe. Above all, unless the top management walks the talk, that is, they themselves come to the office on time, rather before time, that will set a good example for others to emulate. When the boss walks in at 11 am, then one cannot expect discipline in the office. Everything should percolate from the top ultimately because as they say, the bottleneck for the bottle is always at the top!
You can even organize a training program on corporate or business etiquettes, punctuality, discipline, etc., to guide them. Those who do not correct or change themselves, despite so much advice and training, can be shown the door without any emotion or softer approach!

Solution to this issue depends on the nature, size, and history of the office. As rightly pointed out above, it also depends upon your position in the office, the thinking of the management, and the management culture. Kindly give details on these aspects so that a practical solution can be given. Otherwise, you will get only theoretical lectures.
