Take on an Odorous Task

This article reports that almost two third of human resource professionals have had to talk to an employee about his or her offensive body odor. This was found by an online poll by Business and Legal Reports. It says 74 percent of respondents have had to confront a worker about the issue. Some these tips were to talk to the employee personally, privately, and with as much sensitivity as possible, realize that diet or a medical condition could cause the problem, one can suggest that the person visit a doctor, or one can include the company nurse in the conversation, one has to emphasize that this isn't just a personal issue and its a workplace disruption that must be resolved.
