Case Study to Analyse:

Employee joins the company and is put under training. Only after he clears the training imparted, he can be put to projects which the company work on. However, inspite of repeated reminders & communcation, the employee fails in the training program.

He is called in a performance assessment meeting. However, he does not turn up for the meeting. However, he leaves office and sends SMS to the HR folks in the training dept that he will commit sucide if he is asked to leave the company.

Now, as HR professionals, every day we face these issues. How will you handle such employees who fail their performance reviews & have attitude issues. Pl look into the following aspects for a complete answer:
  • Look at the process adopted for performance review
  • Measures of addressing such issues
  • Legal approach to such issues
  • Couselling methodologies adopted
Let me know your thoughts ! Also, if you want to clarify some points please post the same for clarity.

I had a beautiful learning out of this.

its simple its not his mistake it shows inefficient recruitment methods followed in the company .

If recruitment has done properly, then the traineer was not able to create a frndly environment or may be the traineer is not well trained for which the employee did not performed well in his job.If the employee threatens to committe sucide then he must be given a chance to do his job properly otherwise reduce his compensation so that he can realise that due his non-performance he has been paid less.

Personally, sit with the employee, ask about the actual problem, and then suggest what abilities you see in this person when you recruit them. If they still do not change, give a written warning letter, a probation period, and mark their exit. If they threaten suicide, report it to the police department as suicide is a crime.

Understand that if you are owed money by someone and they threaten suicide when asked for repayment, should you forgive the debt? The answer is no. The same applies here. You work for your company, so act honestly. Focus on managing results, not individuals. If you can manage the results, the individuals will be managed automatically.

Hope this addresses your query.
