Dealing with difficult employees can be, well, difficult. That’s why it’s important that you have a strategy in place for any employees that may start causing problems. You need to be consistent in your communications with your employee. Make sure that you have a written policy so everyone is clear what the rules for behavior are, and make sure that you and all of your employees are always held to those rules. It’s also important that you document any conversations you have with difficult employees. Keep everything in writing so that you have a record of your attempts to resolve the issue. Last, make sure that you involve other people in your conversations with the difficult employee.
