In your company, business, organisation, and etc, there are times when you will notice some mischievous behavior from your staff and some will decide to be uncooperative because of one reason or the other.
In this thread, I will be giving out some of what I think will be useful tips when dealing with such an issue and kind of staff.

✓ First of all, it will be wise and reasonable to use the alternative of dialogue. Call the attention of such staff and dialogue about the why and how you can resolve the issue. This does not depict weakness but sanity.

✓ If the above does not yield the desired results, then you may need to consider taking actions on such a staff. This can be gradual withrawal of function and this must he done with wisdom. The aim is not getting rid of the staff remember.

✓ If all attempts to restore such a staff fails, then the ultimate resort will be getting rid of the staff. Any organization needs unity for it to progress. Such staff are an hinderace to that and therefore they must be eliminated before they eliminate the organization.

I will always wish that there will be no need to try out the second or third options.
 
@Paul Abel it could be easier than that because women during the pregancy doesn't work as expected and then she needs some period of stop working but current companies think that she should work because due to massive work that leads to uncooperative staff, this is for half of the case.
 
Dealing with staff is the hardest part of the duties of the human resources manager. The main reason is that we are subject to different opinions, characters and temperaments, trainings and understanding of things.

Some people need no motivation to work while some have to be pushed all the time. Some are good at their job, but some of them would require direction and assistance. The goal should be to get the best for the organization out of each person without creating rancor in the workplace.

Mature decision making is necessary. Patience is also good, and experience too will help you manage your staff.

A lazy staff can be the best worker you have, so you need to work towards finding less painful ways for both of you to get the work done. Most people only need constant reminders and often, warnings before you take serious action.
