Re: [prpoint] Employees / Ex-employees

Mayura,
 
Thanks for the questions... let me attempt answering them...
 
1. Well, every professional organisation or individual will want to face the situation, because hiding won't help in the longer run...if they are serious in business, then they will. In my own belief, there are plenty of organisations who have "guts" to take issues head on...that is what distinguishes them from the rest...much as I wish to mention the names of such good, bad and ugly company names...I am afraid, i cannot do that on this platform...
 
2. Guarantee that employee will not badmouth? Well, no guarantee but just analyse this, why should an employee bad mouth if he/ she carries no grudge at the end of a true resolution against an issue, hmm?!? Do not forget both the employee and the company equally have legal options to silence each other, right? How many indiviudals or companies want issues such as this?
 
3. In my opinion, reference check is one...it is only a small part of the game when you go looking for new jobs...the individual needs to know who he/ she provides the reference as...if you have none to give reference for, from the company you worked before, does that also mean employee has a serious problem with the whole of organisation, huh?!?
 
Have a good day...
 

Thanks and regards,

All,

I am beginning to enjoy being part of this group. There are new
perspectives added to my learning every single day.

Krishna, while I agree with your point of sitting across the table and
resolving the problem with the employee who has 'bungled' I have a few
questions:

1. How many organisations/ people have the guts to take a problem 'head on'
2. What is the guarentee that the employee will not bad mouth the company ?
3. After the 'win-win' situation is developed, what is to be done when
a HR consultant calls in for a reference/backgroun d check?

Rhetorical questions as these may seem, can we have a few answers?

Warm Regards,
