At California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, we believe that cultivating an environment that embraces and promotes diversity is fundamental to the success of our students, our employees and our community. Bringing people together from different backgrounds, experiences and value systems fosters the innovative and creative thinking that exemplifies Cal Poly’s values of free inquiry, cultural and intellectual diversity, mutual respect, civic engagement, and social and environmental responsibility.
Cal Poly’s commitment to diversity informs our efforts in recruitment, hiring and retention. California Polytechnic State University is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer.

HUMAN RESOURCES: MANAGING DIFFICULT PEOPLE
Tips for Managing Difficult People:
• Document, document, document • Document training and coaching • Avoid the word “attitude” it’s too subjective • Focus on specific behaviors or the quality of work • Focus on facts, not hearsay • Provide specific examples of the behavior or quality of work you expect • Be very clear and concise in spelling out the consequences of what could happen if
there is no improvement • Get at the root cause • Attack the behavior not the person • Have follow-up performance meetings with the difficult employee • Address issues head on
Call Human Resources for Assistance
