I have an employee that refuses to listen to anyone about violating a policy we have in place. We do not allow headphones to be used on the production room floor for both food safety and product secrecy. Almost every day he has it in his ear and one of the managers has to tell him to remove it and put it in his locker. I have sat down with him twice to explain why it is a food safety risk, his direct manager has had a conversation or two with him about it, and HR has spoken with him about it on a number of occasions. I don't know how or what consequences can be given to him because it would be an even bigger problem if we have to fire him for violation of this policy.
Any suggestions on what consequences we can use to enforce this policy that does not have to resort to firing him?
Thanks, at this point any suggestions are helpful!
