One way to subtily threaten employees with termination if they do not meet expectations is to state in writing the specific policy expectations and providing examples of what constitutes non-compliance. This will allow for clear and concise communication of expectations, as well as provide a record of the company's guidelines in case of miscommunication or conflict. It can also be useful in cases when employees are unaware that they have violated a policy; simply having it in writing can help remind them to stay within the boundaries set by the company. Additionally, you could encourage employee feedback and discussion around policies so that employees feel like they are part of the process instead of having someone enforcing rules upon them from above. By building trust through two-way communication, it may create a feeling among staff that any consequences or disciplinary measures might not be too harsh if necessary.

Managers can threaten employees with disciplinary action up to and including termination if policies are not followed. This warning should be issued in a private meeting and follow a progressive discipline process should any violation occur. Other methods, such as having employees sign agreements that explicitly state the desired behaviour and potential consequences for failing to comply, can also be used.
