The most difficult employee that I have ever  encountered in the month of July 2017 when we have stop the operation of one branch. This situation is very critical because company was not in a good financial estate So, it become dificult to make understand the employee about the company situation. Because they do have their individual family. However we intimate all branch employee about this action and gave them the sufficient time to find the appropriate job with all paper works. Need to make  sure not to hurt employees with the verbal communication  or written. Try to communicate in such a way that company is in their side and will try as much as possible to help their employees.

I received complains about one of my staff being noisy and frequently talking to others, which was erceived as wasting their time. I had invited the person to my office, talked to him about the issue, and listened to his side of the story. Following that I shared with him my ideas and what can be a solution. We ended up agreeing on the way forward, and I believe I managed to diffuse the tension.

Most difficult incident which I can think of was a dispute which arised between a Supervisor and a Subordinate at Senior Management level. Since two Senior Resources were involved, I along with the Business Head of the division had to handle the issue very diplomatically but at the same to time being assertive in our approach to resolve the matter so that there was no repurcusions on the business.

We had series of councelling sessions with them, at first individually and thereafter jointly. Since I had a good rapport with both of them I could manage to bridge the gap and arrive at a solution acceptable to both the gents.
