First of all, thank you! I’ve really enjoyed your videos and have got a lot from them. Secondly, the company I work for aren’t great with toxic staff. My question is I don’t know what to do! I am a care worker and I adore the guys I support. In the 2 years I have been with them I have developed great relationships and trust from them and their families. Should I stay for them?

How do you get rid of a toxic worker if they haven't done anything wrong?

[@GalenEmanueleShiftYes]

Hmm, probably slightly tough to answer quickly without more context, but if you can label them as toxic then they are doing something on some level that is 'wrong.' Whatever behavior that they're exhibiting that is problematic is something that should be addressed directly and specifically. I could go into detail but want to avoid writing 10 paragraphs. To begin the process of removing someone from the team, the first step is a very direct convo with them outlining explicitly what you're seeing from them, what it needs to look like instead, and the exact consequences will be if things don't change. And everything has to be clearly documented. Depending on the severity of the situation, after 2 or 3 of those documented convos then they lose their job. There are many resources to help with this, RUclips is a great resource for advice, take a partner in HR to ensure you're doing everything right and get their advice. A great resource for having these convos effectively is Fierce Conversations by Susan Scott. Love that book. Whew, I wrote a lot, hope that's helpful :)
