Ignoring a problematic staffer could jeopardize the success of the entire organization.
Naturally, no one wants to work with difficult people. When dealing with problematic employees, productivity decreases, frustrations rise, morale goes down and customers and vendors get upset.
How to Handle Them
- Don’t ignore the problem.
- Intervene as soon as possible.
- Research the problem personally.
- Help the problematic employee to get back on track.
- If all else fails, termination may be necessary.
The manager needs to follow company guidelines in recognizing the unacceptable behavior, providing direct feedback, providing input to try to turn it around and ultimately taking action in a timely manner. Not doing so is a disservice to the problematic employee, other employees and the success of the organization.
