First, all of us in our job working as one family or one team rely on professional and professionalism in dealing with each other before dealing with clients . It's totally unacceptable manner talk inappropriate 

 

In this case, if the act occurred and then repeats the alarm warning , avoidance, and refer to the list of internal organization to work within the company to take action with him

This is a kind of harassment( emotional /mental). Every organisation has some set policies and procedure related to  harassment. If the same is coming from your colleagues or juniors , you can sit together and discuss the pro's and con's of same. If it is repetitive, all you need to do is stay calm and  get in touch with HR. Similarly if it is coming from seniors and Managers, it should be reported to HRD and they would follow their procedure set for any grievances.

As an HR I would calmly and professionally address bad office behavior by letting the employee know their mistake(Conduct/Language) and give them a chance to rectify (do keep an eye on them).

That would depend on who is the erring employee. If he/ she is one of your colleagues, you may always soft-talk about what they are doing is not right. If we are talking about a superior, then  good idea would be to refer the issue to HR and let them resolve it amicably at their end.

Thank you for the invitation

 

The treatment between colleagues in the work is necessary and must prevail in the atmosphere of friendliness and brotherhood, those who violate the behavior such as disrespect and lack of appreciation and the shadow of superiority will affect the institution's credibility by affecting the profitability of its users

As for your question about my behavior, if I am responsible for workers and for those who depart from public behavior, there are several points

Try a friendly call and put it up. Caution that behavior is not loved. Trying to evaluate behavior in a friendly way

Official roads. Submit a Question. Caution. Change of place in case of repeated behavior

Sanctions in Behavioral Warning. Deduction of monthly and other actions that may reach the final chapter in the event of an immoral conduct violates the morals of the work

Clearly Behavioural intervention is required in this situation.

 

Depending on the seriousness of the situation,

1. 'One on One' sessions with the Manager

2. Discussion/Feedback/ Counselling/ Training sessions

3. If it doesn't work, donot let the Employee himself and the Team continue suffering, HR can reach out for Professional Counsellor's help and may also engage with Employee's Family 

 

Step3 is not easy and one should act as per the Organisation Policy.

Finally its for an income we all have come. But he might have not had a day as yours. So try to convince him and make him understand the situation, whatever it is. If it goes beyond your control there are seniors to handle them, report the issue.

Hello,

If this is a trend in the company then a training session should be conduct for all staff level, if it is with person then one to one coaching should be enough, if this is continued then HR policies should apply.

Best Regards
