Dealing with toxic or negative employees can be time consuming and tricky.

In this episode 241 of the podcast I discuss what it is like to have toxic or negative employees on your team. Those employees who bring everyone down, and in some cases relish making life difficult for their manager, supervisor or employer, are very tricky to deal with and require really strong management and proactive management even when it is difficult.

In this episode of the podcast we cover:

• How to identify those toxic employees.
• What you do with employees who are constantly negative.
• The impact these toxic employees can have on the rest of the team.
• How toxic employees can, in extreme cases, make employers afraid to attend at their own business!
• The steps you can take to address the issue of a toxic or negative employee.
• Why you need to address negative or disruptive behaviours early on.
• Why approaching difficult conversations with kind candour will help you overcome your fear.
• Example cases where employees have been dismissed due to their negative or disruptive behaviours.
