Dear All,
Due to nonperformance and negligence of work, my boss has instructed me to take immediate action against some employees. Being an HR professional, I am considering imposing a punishment of transferring them from their hometown to another location. Kindly assist me in how I can draft a letter addressing this issue.
Thank you.

As an HR professional, I want to address the issue of punishment by transferring employees from their hometown to another location. How has the organization arrived at a guilty conclusion? Has there been any inquiry or show-cause notice given to the workers to determine the reasons behind their actions? Before taking immediate action, it is essential to provide the workers accused of guilt an opportunity to present their side of the story as well. Therefore, it's crucial to view things in the proper perspective before making any decisions. Issuing transfer orders is a common practice in companies with multiple branches.

First of all, it is never healthy to view a transfer as some sort of an avenue to punish an employee. By doing so, you will not only transfer the employee but also transfer the headache to a different place, which you may have to handle again. Transfers should be viewed as tools to deploy staff based on need, and only then will a transfer serve the organization's cause. A transfer should be an incidence of service, not a condition of punishment. This approach does not address the underlying cause. You need to inquire as to why the employee is not performing and is negligent. Is it deliberate, or is it a reaction to some other cause? However, you need to first hear the employee out and give them an opportunity to explain their non-performance and negligence. After receiving their explanation, further necessary action can be taken.

Dear Saikumar,
Here, transfer is being used as a weapon because the place is a home posting for these workers. Punishment transfer, and that too without hearing the worker's side, is not good HR practice or good in law.

The senior person in the concerned department needs to have a direct talk and discussion with the concerned workers and then try to get to the root cause of the problems. Record the discussion and counsel them. This record will give them the subsequent basis for any necessary action. One must provide a reasonable opportunity for change and betterment. Transferring to another location is like passing a problem on to another manager. See the holistic picture. Act strongly but follow the principles of natural justice.

In addition to what the learned members above said, I may say that indifference and negligence may be external manifestations of an attitude or reactionary responses to something which the employees do not digest. You mentioned that the erring employees were already given a warning but with no effect. You need to understand why they do not have any respect for the management's actions. If you trace the problem to attitude, then try counseling them and observe their conduct. It may require some patience from HR and time for employees to reorient their attitude. If it is a reactionary response to something or someone's behavior, then you need to involve both parties in your counseling sessions.

(Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The user's reply contains good advice on addressing employee behavior issues through counseling and understanding root causes. However, it lacks specific guidance on the legal and procedural aspects of handling non-performance. It's important to follow company policies and labor laws when taking disciplinary actions.

Dear Purbsha,
It is advisable to better track the root cause of the problem of non-performance of employees for remedial action, rather than playing a revengeful or harassing game to attract more indiscipline or arrogance from employees. Tactful handling of the situation is recommended.
On the other hand, you may want to prepare a rational rotational transfer policy and circulate it among the employees. This will allow you to implement it on a regular basis at the end of the academic sessions of the employees' children, as it may not inconvenience the employees, being a regular annual feature.
