Employees That Might Be Ruining Your Business

By Brad Chase


As an employer, you know there is no harder job than being the person who is responsible for hiring and firing employees. Being the boss is never going to make you a popular person. But you must know that your company should consider weak employees.

When it comes to determining who should stay and who may be jeopardizing the success of your company, however, how do you choose? How do you know you are making the right choice? Three types of employees can put your company at risk.

Employees You Don't Want in Your Company

No Heart, No Effort- These are perhaps the easiest weak employees to identify. Showing up late all the time wearing unkempt staff uniform and always leaving early - you need to be careful of these traits. They don't seem to care at all and actually trying to complete the tasks they are assigned is something they just won't do. You won't even feel their loss. Employees who bringing the company down should not be allowed to work.

No Results- These are the individuals you have high hopes for when you first present them with a staff uniform. They are sincere in their efforts and work hard. They may be putting in a lot of extra hours too. However, they are incapable of doing their job, or are perhaps no longer capable of doing it. Despite their hard work, these employees need to be let go. They are in fact adding to company costs instead of adding any value. Be fair but firm when you need to let these individuals go because they were the ones who wore their work uniform with pride and are good people.

Just Don't Fit- Then there are the employees that seem to do everything right. Their corporate wear is always tidy, they show up on time and they put in a lot of effort and get results. These employees seem like they would be perfect for the job, except for one thing. They just don't fit into your company's corporate culture. Normal work timings may not be enough for certain workaholic perfectionist office cultures and some employees may not get in tune with that. Again you should be honest with such employees tell them how they didn't fit in.

In the end, deciding which of the individuals who wear your work uniform should stay and which should go is a choice you have to make. Your company and your employees should benefit from your decision.
