“Bad Egg” Employees – Don't Let Them Make Your Organization Stink!
A few disgruntled employees can drag down the morale of your entire workforce. How can your management team properly demand productivity from adversarial employees, yet avoid exposure to retaliation claims, government charges and costly lawsuits? Are these problem employees off limits to future discipline? What if the employee still works on your payroll, yet already has sued the company? This session will highlight which management tactics work, and which should be avoided! You will learn how to:
· Recognize when an employee can be rehabilitated, or when he should be terminated.
· Protect your managers and employees from the practical and legal challenges posed by troublemakers.
· Aggressively manage employees who have lodged complaints or filed charges of discrimination, without incurring
further liability for retaliation.
