Dear Suki,
You need to find the reason why he has a bad attitude / negative attitude towards other employees.
May be there is a reason
maybe he is not able to trust them
or it maybe that he is a perfectionist in his work, and is not able to see anyone equally dedicated and productive like him.
However, is he a leader? Is he leading a group- then if thats the case, he needs to be reassured by his team members that they value his leadership.
He needs to be reassured by the management that they are happy with his work.
Try to see whats making him have that attitude. You may be able to change that in him and make his "productive and dedicated style" very contagious.
As far as background check is concerned, please understand that people are not always terminated for their mistake, but also for the mistake of their superiors. So you need to just gauge what his current attitute appears to you. Is he a performer becuase he has this negatve attitude and people just dont bother to turn him in the wrong (or any) direction?
As long as this attitude is not affecting the output of other people, you need not worry. But if yes, you just need to find the "reason" before adopting any strategy to counsel / train or even bring that issue out to him.
Good Luck !

Dear Suki,
In my view Company means Team Work, & in that a person can be better but he cant be as strong as others.
If a single person is injurious to hundred , we must think about hundred, otherwise you will loose other good people for one guy,
Better you talk to him and advise him to change his behaviour. I think if doesnt change it may increase Manpower Turnover. & it will be more expensive for company pocket & for image also.

Dear Suki,
I do agree with chum dat to deal u have to follow the steps b'coz we cannot terminate instantly ,its just like "We should first clear the mist from the screen ,even then if u see the screen is not clear then replace it."
For one u cannot afford to hurt hundred.

Hi Suki,
Dear I think instead of reprimand u should face him as a friend, try to find out his problems are, so that u can advice him some steps to overcome them. Only then u take some stern steps. I think if u must also entrust him some taks like organising of function...or by making him a part of community activites in your organization. Due to this he will get more time to spend with other employees and can understnd during such occasions.
IF I m wrom then plz do correct me people!
Good advices and corrections are always welcom!

What i think personally is attitude do plays a vital role but since he is a competent asset of the company n since he is excellent enough in his approach he can't be simply thrown out of the company.
I think there must be some presentations conducted either on the job or off the job in a cool n calm place , where in with the help of certain illustrations n stories , you can atleast very creatively can pass on a hint to that person's ability as well as he will also get to know in an indirect form what he actually lacks and what he should change in himself.
With this approach he will not be with a bad attitude , n will also get to know about himself more better, this technique is actually an HR person uses wherein he never goes for arguments , or violence but moves with strategies with a silence.

Hi Suki,
As the employee is good at work and productive to the company, I think, we need handle the case very sensitively. The employee can easily find an alternative better job, if we handle it in a disciplinary way, which will in turn affect the company productive / growth.
Hence, I feel, as suggested by Mr.Nagarajan, identify the area of improvement required, HR to conduct an employee specific training program through HR working closely with Head of Dept and Employee in order to set a timeline(May be 6 months period) for the improvement result.
HOD to conduct the performance appraisal and provide the feedback to HR on the result of his behaviour / attitude.. If there is no improvement, as per the PDS score, HR may reflect the same on the payment of Bonus / Merit Increment (Pay for performance system and give one more chance by keeping the employee in service. If the behaviour / attitude continues, then, we need to find an alternative employee.
I hope you find it useful.
Thank you and best regards,

Hi Suki,
As a HR person, it is your duty to study human beheviour. If a person shows his 100%performance, as expected, he is an important person for you. If any person reason is behind his misbehaviour, you should speak to his close friends in the Company. They might be knowing the reason behind.
You should counsel him. You can find a good reason and call him to appreciate him for doing some extraordinary work or any special efforts put by him by which the Company has gained something. Then you can slowly ask him about his family background, how people are doing at his home and can show little concern. You can convince that since he is doing such a good work at office, he should feel happy and contended about his family life.
Let him understand that you want to help him for any problems. He might then be open up.
All the Best !!

Hi,
Its just not easy to change the attitude by counseling. If was possible his previous employees could have taken the same. As well said good workers are easy to get but not good people (good attitude). End of the story other employees will suffer deconstructive situations because of him.
