Dallas Managing Partner Michael Abcarian wrote "We Got Sued
for What? Tools for Dealing with Difficult Employment
Situations" for Texas CEO Magazine. He wrote,
"Leadership is responsible for dealing with any difficult
employee situation."
He further penned: 'Dealing with problematic employee
situations often requires an organization to focus on two major
objectives. First, the immediate problem of resolving the matter on
the ground. This might include various disciplinary scenarios,
employee meetings or other strategies. But in addition, there is
the specter that a lawsuit may follow—a scenario that can
become a legal cost nightmare."
Michael wrote that when a problem arises, investigate promptly
and thoroughly, bringing the matter to a conclusion. He stressed it
is important to consistently apply policies and performance
expectations. He also noted everything should be
well-documented.
