In every workplace, there are different types of people. Every team comprises different people. Some are the ones who always keep on motivating others and some are those who are negative towards everyone.
You can either hire people carefully but if such toxic people have been hired once it can become difficult to get rid of such people. Such people are called toxic not because of the harm they create to their own selves but also because they spread such behavior to other people in the workplace.
It is because of a few toxic people the entire team suffers. It is not that the behavior of people is something against which legal action can be taken but it is only the behavior that disturbs the environment of the company.
Due to this reason, an employee may not be fired so there are few things that can be done to manage a toxic employee.
1. Dig Deeper
The first thing which can be done is to try to analyze the behavior of those people and what must be causing it. If we can find the reason why such behavior takes place we can offer help to those employees. Counseling sessions can be provided to them.
2. Direct Feedback can be provided
Sometimes people don’t realize what kind of behavior do they have and how destructive it can be. Therefore, it becomes important to give honest feedback to such employees so that they come to know that what kind of behavior do they have.
After sharing the feedback with them we can also share the improvement plan with the employees. Clearly defined goals can be discussed with the employee and how they can go by and improve.
3. Explain the Consequences
If the employees are not ready to listen and change by being good to them then another approach can opt for that is by making them realize that on what all will they miss out if they do not behave in an appropriate way. Maybe getting some rewards may help in bringing a change.
4. Document everything
Some people just don’t want to change at any cost so for such people it is important to document all their offenses or any response offered to date so that if they are fired from the company they know that why are they being let go from the company.
These are a few things that can be done to deal with toxic people.

Entice Customers with an In-house VR Experience
Implementing VR to attract customers can be a good strategy because; there are still many people not familiar with the VR experience. VR devices or technology is still not in reach to a lot of people, reasons can be it being expensive. So for the customers, who have not yet experienced VR (and those who have), VR can be fun.
You can make a deal with a superstore or a mall to install a VR device. Customers then can simply put on their headsets and have a unique experience; this can leave a strong impression on a customer. Check out the following video to get an idea;

Go Through Potential Customers
Every business’s main goal is to get more and more customers to make a profit. Many businesses forget to keep one thing in mind- customers reach. If your idea, product, or content cannot reach potential customers then the whole hard work goes to the bin.
For companies or businesses that have their root in the entertainment or technology industry, the use of VR can prove to be successful. The main goal of using VR is simple- the brand wants to paint their product (whatever they are offering) as unique, adventurous, modern, and innovative. Before you think to invest a substantial amount of money in VR make sure to ask some key questions;
Do your target audiences have access to VR-able devices? Is VR the ‘legitimate’ thing or way to represent your brand?
Will your target audience like to use their VR devices for your product? Is there any other way to apply VR and save money?
Opt for AR to Reach Maximum Number of People
Remember Pokémon Go? What was the reason behind its huge success rate?
People went crazy over this game because they could play it whenever they wanted and wherever they desired. All they had to do was use their easily available mobile. AR is beneficial for the video game industry without a doubt, but it holds great scope for many other industries as well.
Businesses can help their audiences visualize what their product can look like in shape, quantity, or size. Familiar approaches of VR can be traced to popular social media apps as well such as Snapchat and Instagram.

In every organization hiring is one of the most essential functions of human resource management. Every now and then people are required for different roles to be performed at the workplace.
The process of hiring can be conducted in several ways. There are different options for how one can go by hiring employees. Advertisements, recruiting internally, using recruitment agencies, social media, etc can be used for hiring employees.
According to a Research referred candidates are better performing candidates than applicants from the general public. Referred candidates tend to stay longer at the workplace and also perform well.
Employee referral are better when the referrer and the candidate knows each other well than having a weaker connection. If the candidate and the referrer do not know each other so hiring candidates through reference or through casual applications does not make any difference.
In a typical hiring process the candidate may have some information about the job and similarly the company has a little information about the candidate who has applied by screening through the resume, application forms or references etc.
On the basis of information present with the company they try to predict whether the candidate is good fit for the company or not. Some predictions are good and some may not work accordingly.
Every company wants to reduce these errors in the decision making by hiring the right person. Rather than selecting an employee from casual applications every company thinks that referrals can be a better option and it can be time saving as well.
The referrer being an employee of the company can provide genuine information of the company which is difficult to provide in a formal recruitment process. Similarly, the company is also provided with the information of the applicant by the referrer as he knows about the work ethics, skill set, goals and other information which is difficult to provide during the hiring process.
Referral program needs to be planned in a systematic way. It is important to differentiate between high quality and low quality referrals. Hiring team shall ask the referrer that whether they have worked with the candidate or not.
After having a conversation with the the referrer it should be decided that whether to consider the candidate or not.
