Additional Information

This is always a tough topic to tackle. But it's important to address the issue with professionalism. Give specific examples of how and why this hygiene problem negatively affects getting the work done.  The employee must agree this is a problem that needs to be corrected.  You can be compassionate but be firm and specific about your expectations.  Ask for and offer suggestions for specific actions that can be taken to correct the problem.

Trainer Comments: When working with employees, it is important to always treat them with respect and care. This is as important to their success as it is to yours. A job well done is as important to people today as it ever was, and part of your job as manager is to help your employees achieve that goal. In many cases, when employees don’t complete their work appropriately, it is because they do not clearly understand what’s expected of them. They have not received the necessary training or instruction to do their jobs correctly.
