How To Handle Toxic Employees

By HR Resource Force In Business Process Management

If your organization is spending time, money and resources increasing company culture, you may want to evaluate if  you have toxic employees. Some employee dysfunction requires objective analysis and strategic management intervention. Do you parent your children the same way? Are they motivated the same way? Do they respond to their peers and homework the same way? No. Your employees are not functioning and or driven the same way either. For more information on unique talent management strategies see; 8 Reasons You Have Unmotivated Employees & How To Inspire Them , How You Drive Good Employees Away, or How 3,477 Managers Succeeded.

However, if you have determined your employee is a toxic employee; a chameleon (escapes notice) an ornament (easy on the eye but zero contribution) a ball and chain (loves bureaucracy and no risk taking) or a vampire (thrives on emotions of others) then get rid of them!

But How? First, document everything! Document their goals, “to do list” and results. Document anonymous complaints, late times, training, compliance… Then, I challenge you to offer a rigorous retraining program and or a remediation program. You will be amazed, 99 % of your toxic employees will willingly leave! They do not want help nor do they care to better themselves or your company.
