Overview
Learn six tried and tested steps for how to manage disruptive employees successfully. The most important step when thinking about how to handle employees with bad attitudes is not to ignore the problem. It rarely goes away and usually gets worse if ignored.

Plus the rest of your team will start picking up the same bad behaviour or habits. You must take action.

Employees with bad attitudes can come about for a wide range of reasons. These reasons might be related to the working environment, colleagues or management or they may be a result of issues outside of work. Find out why the bad attitude has started before doing anything else. 

The next step when planning how to handle employees with bad attitudes is to work out what the best plan of action would be. This very much depends on the situation and the person.

Dealing with negative employees is a lot easier once you have set out your expectations for their behaviour. Put your expectations in writing and be clear with the negative employee what is acceptable and what is not. 

Then support the individual to improve their attitudes or if they can’t or won’t change their bad attitude, move them out of your team and company.
