Talk to the Employee

Talk to the tardy employees individually to find out the reasons why they are late. There could be personal issues that they are dealing with that you are unaware of.

Know the Reason

One of the reasons for being late is that the person may not have adequate time-management skills. Another reason for being late is that the person may be resistant to change and stuck in their ways. One way of managing employees is to have a conversation with them to try and understand the reason behind their tardiness.

Once the reason is identified, you can work with the late employees to come up with a solution.

Provide a Solution

Provide the solution for the reason that they don’t have adequate time-management skills, you can provide them with resources or training on how to better manage their time. If the reason is that they are resistant to change, you can try to help them see the benefits of changing their ways.

Whatever the reason may be, it’s important to try and find a solution that works for both the late employees and the company. Tardiness can lead to lost productivity and can be frustrating for other employees.

Set a System

Take Action in Managing Employees

Finally, It’s important to take action. Talk to them about the issue and try to determine the root cause. If the problem persists, you may need to take disciplinary action.
