Business owners may be sensitive about the personal hygiene of their employees. 3 It is difficult to deal with an employee whose personal hygiene has an impact on the workplace. Bad hygiene can manifest itself in body odor, untidy hair, and urine smells. Hygiene issues can be caused by many factors including cultural differences, personal problems, mental health issues, poor grooming habits, and medical issues. Do not assume that one of these causes is the problem. Also, be aware that you are not violating nondiscrimination laws when dealing with hygiene issues. 4 It's easy for employees to spread germs quickly by clicking away on keyboards, touching door handles and sharing vending machines. It is essential to maintain a healthy and safe workplace. 5 Consider creating a separate hygiene and grooming policy for the workplace and/or including personal hygiene expectations into your dress code and personal appearance policies. Please be as specific as you can and give examples of your company's expectations. Once you've confirmed that there is a hygiene problem, talk to the employee. The conversation should take place face-to-face in a private setting. An employee should not be informed about a hygiene problem anonymously, by email or in any other indirect manner. Let another employee know that you will deal with the situation. Set the scene by telling the employee that you are going to be discussing a difficult topic during the meeting. Sometimes, employees may not be aware that there is a problem and may need more information. Give an explanation and treat the employee with respect. Avoid using judgmental language and use factual terms. If applicable, cite your policy and explain how the situation affects the business. 6 Communicate your expectations and next steps to the employee at the end of the meeting.
