This is where you&#8217;re job as a manager or supervisor becomes a little challenging. The challenge for managers is what to do with under performers.<\/p>\n<p>Again and again, some organizations don&#8217;t reach their peak efficiency because they retain people who clearly are not doing their jobs. It\u2019s easiest to ignore them and in fact that\u2019s what usually happens.

But don&#8217;t worry, it&#8217;ll get easy with practice, and following these nine steps we&#8217;ve listed on how you handle a low performer. To sum it all up, you need to keep in mind these 3C&#8217;s:<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_26 counter-hierarchy\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">TOPICS<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" style=\"display: none;\"><label for=\"item\" aria-label=\"Table of Content\"><i class=\"ez-toc-glyphicon ez-toc-icon-toggle\"><\/i><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\" id=\"item\"><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class=\"ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1\"><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/neo-blog.kalibrr.com\/blog\/id\/steps-on-how-to-handle-underperforming-employees\/#Converse\" title=\"Converse.\u00a0\">Converse.\u00a0<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/neo-blog.kalibrr.com\/blog\/id\/steps-on-how-to-handle-underperforming-employees\/#Coach\" title=\"Coach.\">Coach.<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/neo-blog.kalibrr.com\/blog\/id\/steps-on-how-to-handle-underperforming-employees\/#Can\" title=\"Can.\">Can.<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Converse\"><\/span><strong>Converse.\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Before you address the issue of under performance, you need to find out what\u2019s going on in the employee\u2019s life.

And it&#8217;s your job to provide on-the-job coaching. Talk about the issues so that the employee understands where he\u2019s falling short. Let him\u00a0devise solutions for improvement. Talk about those solutions and agree on a timetable for improvement.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can\"><\/span><strong>Can.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If in the case that there has been no improvement despite all your efforts, then you must come to the conclusion that they are not the right fit for the job.
