Check out these three checklists designed to help your organization deal with toxic employees:
- Avoid hiring problem employees. Identify the personality traits and behaviors that may lead to toxic employee behavior.
- Manage those toxic employees already in your workplace. To have any chance at managing and turning around a toxic employee, your organization’s supervisors must aim for best practices in consistent and effective performance management.
- Fully document conduct and behavior in response to a charge or litigation brought by a problem employee. To mount an effective defense to a charge or litigation filed by a disgruntled toxic employee, your organization needs to have good documentation regarding the employee’s conduct and behavior.
