Difficult Employees<\/h2>\n

\u0395\u03c0\u03b9\u03c7\u03b5\u03b9\u03c1\u03b7\u03bc\u03b1\u03c4\u03b9\u03ba\u03ad\u03c2 \u03a3\u03c5\u03bc\u03b2\u03bf\u03c5\u03bb\u03ad\u03c2<\/p>\n

Are you and your staff dealing with a difficult employee who may be adequate — even good — at his job but constantly complains and stirs up discontent?<\/p>\n

Such difficult employees can affect your department’s bottom line more than you might think. In fact, a negative attitude can have a far bigger ripple effect on a department than one employee’s deficient skills. Negativity can infect coworkers and be a horrendous time sink.<\/p>\n

The following steps will help ensure that you handle the situation successfully:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 Get the HR department behind you before you have the conversation with your negative employee. The HR folks can advise you on needed documentation, time frame and how your organization’s own culture addresses these issues.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Clearly articulate to your department that you expect more than efficient individual contributions by your staff. Rather, each person is responsible for building a respectful, collaborative team environment that both supports the department’s productivity and the company as a whole.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Directly tie the staff member’s negative behaviors to the department’s core goals, functions and performance objectives.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Do not describe the employee’s problem as an “attitude” problem. This is too subjective and will in all likelihood be viewed as personal dislike rather than a legitimate performance problem. Cite specific examples drawing the relationship between the negative behaviour and staff productivity and morale.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Refer this person to resources that will coax him out of a negative pattern of behavior.\u00a0 By doing this, you are identifying the problem behaviour, and also sending the message that you want the person to change and are willing to help in this endeavour.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Park your own frustration at the door.<\/p>\n

Another helpful strategy is to rate, in employee performance reviews, each staff member’s contribution to the overall functioning and morale of the department. This way, there’s less chance someone will claim he is being singled out. Generalize this expectation to all staff. Send and regularly reinforce the message that how the group works with each other and how people support the overarching goals of the department are as much performance variables as meeting sales figures or project deadlines.<\/p>\n

A\u00a0 study concluded 59 percent of employees would be “delighted” if managers dealt with problem employees, but only 7 percent of those responding to employee surveys believed their companies were actually doing it. By taking on your negative employee, you send the message to your department that you are a strong manager up to the task, and reinforce the positive contributions of your hardworking, positive staff.<\/p>\n
