Hi,
I have two users are in my team and they are the A player. However their behavior is not good with the team and they always tried to spread Negativity on the floor. I already have been discussed and suggested them they should not do these things. As per me organisation is doing best for them, but due to behavior they are still an Analyst from the last 4 years. I have been very much flexible with them however now it seems they are taking an advantage from it.
Please suggest how should I tackle with these users keep Attrition in my mind!
Thanks!

Hi Ajay,
You have to understand that they are the rotten apples in your basket. Ten fresh fruits can't make rotten ones fresh however these rotten apples can spoil your other fruits also.
They must be thinking, since they are performers company will neither ask them to leave nor take any action against them.
You have already tried your best (I am assuming). Now issue them the warning letter and give them the ultimatum. Monitor them closely if there is no change ask them to leave immediately.
If you think about attrition if they spread negativity on the floor and because of them if more people leave it will be difficult for you rather throw the rotten apples from the basket and get fresh ones.
You may take sometime to hire people but at least it is better to save your company culture and other staff than such employees. It will give clear massage to other staff also.
Hope it helps!!!

The complete picture is not visible from your statement.
Let's see how to address this.
Agreeing to the fact that spreading negativity on the floor can not be appreciated.
At the same time, we need to understand why only two of your team members act so?
Is there any pay parity?
Do they require behavior modification?
Role of rest of the team members in this behavior?
Speak to the individual and try to understand the real concern. For this it would be better to get a professional associate/counselor.
Once this exercise is done, you can motivate them to be better contributors. Again if the results are not as expected, plan for replacement.

In a team, all members have to take responsibility on their shoulders.
The team leader will guide them to fulfill the task.
In case any negative people causing hurdles in one way or other in the team exists, they should be weed out from the team and put some new persons in their places and give training by shunting them to the unimportant places. Otherwise it will be a problem to the leader as well as to the company indirectly and the company's discipline will be spoiled.
