1 Dealing With Personnel Issues Reference Guide Human Resource Services, Employee & Management Services
2 What is a problem employee? We all have them employees who drain our time and energy. Whether highly vocal or inflexible, quietly destructive or predictably negative, defensive, argumentative or need of attention, these workers cost companies and organizations time, money and personnel. Consider, for example, the endless amounts of management time that should be spent on profitable activities and exceptional employee recognition, gobbled up by problem staff. Or, the damaging affect of the problem worker on company/departmental morale. Some employees can have such a dramatic and negative impact on the work environment that managers, who waited too long to do something, stand in the aftermath reeling from shock and wondering what happened. Never underestimate the stress, tension and/or conflict that ripple outwardly from a people problem. Left unattended, the worst cases will escalate from breakdowns in camaraderie and teamwork, to other employees becoming a problem, to ultimately, the exodus of your best employees (sometimes as a group) in search of a higher quality work environment. The recovery costs when this occurs are staggering; departments can easily find themselves back-pedaling for months just trying to replace the staff, and appease neglected, angry customers. Even if your people problems don t rank on this scale of severity, be assured that they will certainly cause some damage if left unattended. A problem employee: Is an employee whose work behavior is disruptive, distracting or distressing to co-workers, workflow or managers? Is valuable (someone worth turning around) because of skills, knowledge, camaraderie or other significant ties to the organization. Exhibits negative actions which are too subtle or infrequent to warrant formal corrective action or progressive discipline, but which are bad enough to warrant some kind of action. 1
3 10 Warning Signs of a Performance Problem 1. Diminishing or inconsistent work quality 2. Lowered productivity 3. Unexplained absence from work station 4. Is reluctant to change 5. Doesn t volunteer for assignments 6. Shows little or no initiative 7. Doesn t make contributions in meetings 8. Poor concentration 9. Avoids friends and colleagues 10. Blames others for faults or errors Indentifying warning signs will alert you as a supervisor to potential employee performance or conduct issues. As a result, you can define and document the problem and create options or solutions. 2
4 Problematic Employee Behavior Flowchart START Identify the problem 1) Unacceptable Performance? 2) Personality conflict which affects performance Rethink, is there truly a problem? Try again to define problem Problem exists Does employee know/understand the rules/standards/expectations? Does things differently? Ability Problem? Motivation problem?

Does performance improve? Problem Resolved Reinforce desired behavior Utilize disciplinary process as appropriate Problem Resolved Reinforce desired behavior Utilize disciplinary process as appropriate 3
5 Communicating With Employees about Performance Problems Don t soft-pedal. From the employee s perspective, it creates a decreased sense of importance. Encourage as much employee involvement as possible during the session. Ensure that there is understanding between you and the employee. Deliver negative feedback objectively and unemotionally, avoiding emotionally charged statements like you have a bad attitude. Describe the behavior you want changed and offer examples. Use I messages when delivering feedback. Applaud the employee when giving positive feedback. Be direct and tactful. Make sure the feedback is given in a timely manner. Balance the negative feedback with positive feedback. Communicate the impact of the employee s behavior and how it reflects on: o His or herself o You o The department or team o The University 4
6 Coaching/counseling includes: Discussing performance improvement with the employee. Identifying barriers and obstacles keeping the employee from performing at their best. Brainstorming possible solutions jointly to resolve performance issues. Developing a plan for achieving goals and objectives. Communicating expectations and consequences of not improving performance. Documenting the meeting. Following-up and monitoring progress. REMEMBER! As a supervisor, you are responsible for identifying deficient performance. Provide coaching and counseling to help the employee succeed. Steps for Coaching: 1. Observe performance. Management by walking around. 2. Give prompt and regular feedback. Good and poor with specific examples. 3. Provide constructive criticism aimed at improvement. Provide suggestions, give employee opportunity to suggest improvements 4. Learn about employees long and short-term career goals. 5. Encourage creative problem solving. If creative problem solving is valued, you are less likely to meet with reluctance. 6. Establish two-way rapport and reciprocal feedback. Learn how you are doing as a supervisor and what you can do to help the employee. 7. Be available. 8. Accommodate different learning styles. 5
7 Tips for Presenting Disciplinary Action Do s and Don ts of Documentation Do s: Write clearly and concisely Stick to the facts Keep a neutral tone Address behaviors Consult Human Resource Services Don ts: Bring up irrelevant or outdated information Get personal Use hearsay to document behavior Violate confidentiality Prior to the Meeting Have authorization from HR Services to proceed with any disciplinary action prior to the meeting. Make sure you are using the progressive disciplinary process (unless there are extenuating circumstances that warrant by-passing particular stages). Acquire approval from HR Services and the Provost s Office prior to suspensions, demotions and terminations (including temporary and emergency hires). Ensure that the action you are about to take is being consistently applied to all employees. Prepare in advance; rehearse what you intend to say. Determine where the meeting is to take place; select a location where you will have privacy and not be interrupted (no knocking, no phone ringing, etc). Presenting the Disciplinary Action Let the employee know about the meeting a few minutes prior to the time to prevent undo anxiety. Clearly state why you have requested the meeting o Maintain a neutral tone o Make it clear to the employee that your goal is to help them succeed o Address behaviors or issues that are creating concern Allow the employee an opportunity to present his/her perspective, ask questions and explain any extenuating circumstances. Allow the employee to have input into developing solutions or a resolution. Schedule time to follow up and review progress. 6
8 Termination Meeting Have a prepared letter of proposed termination that includes: o Specific reasons for termination (dates, examples, policy violations, etc.) o Appeal rights information Develop a plan for allowing the employee to collect any personal items from his/her work area. Have a neutral witness available to sit in the termination meeting (preferably the next level supervisor or HR liaison). Clearly state why you have requested the meeting o Maintain a neutral tone o Address behaviors or issues that are creating concern o Share what steps in the progressive disciplinary process have already been afforded the employee (if applicable) Allow the employee an opportunity to present his/her perspective, ask questions and explain any extenuating circumstances. If after allowing the employee to present his/her perspective, it is still determined that the appropriate course of action is to present the letter of termination, read it to the employee. Refer the employee to Benefit Services for any concerns about continuation of benefits. Refer the employee to Employee and Management Services for any questions related to unemployment benefits. Collect and inventory any university property (keys, cell phone, id, etc.). Remove computer system access. 7
