Online Webinar 2019 - Live Webinar:3hrs Webinar Problem Employees
Topics/Call fo Papers
Overview
Even the best of workplaces have everyday annoyances and aggravations. However, there is a difference between everyday aggravations and employees whose conduct is so extreme that they interfere with others abilities to accomplish their work and a company to realize its objectives. The key is to separate inevitable everyday aggravations from those whose lack of performance causes serious dysfunction and to step in to rectify that dysfunction.
It is sad too because workplaces are places where we often spend more time with our coworkers than our families. Today, we look to the workplace to supply many of the same relationships and support system roles that the community and families played in the past. Nevertheless, some coworkers are so outstandingly problematic that they not only will not do their jobs, they spoil their coworkers very enjoyment of work to the point coworkers simply cannot bring their best self to work every day.
Those situations become very complicated when a Supervisor starts out trying to address what they consider a performance issue and during its resolution, the employee raises an employee relations complaint. Employers often assume that the raised issue(s) are an “excuse” for poor performance. While that is not unheard of, it is quite common for an underlying employee relations issue to cause performance problems.
Further compounding the problem is that most managers do not start managing until there is a problem, and even employees with performance problems have many employment rights, including rights against retaliation in regards to making complaints. Supervisors are often frustrated when low performing employees who have made complaints are suspicious for any management efforts that they consider retaliatory saying, “All I want them to do is work.”
Wherever there are employees, there will be employee relations issues and performance issues. Knowing how to address such problems is one of the most critical skills every manager, supervisor and certainly, every HR professional needs in today’s workplace. A professional handling of performance issues, and investigation of any employee concerns, helps an employer defend against legal liability and can send a message to employees that they work for an ethical company
