In most business organizations or companies there are does set of workers who do not mind working, they are always ready to play their part, just to make sure they produce results. Then there are does who do not like working, they alway have a reason why they can't do it or can't complete the task given to them. How would you handle such workers?
How do you handle workers who refuse to work

It doesn't sound right. How can one be a worker and refuses to work. In other words, it means that you don't have a staff. You don't even need to think this twice. Give such a Staff the sack.
If my subordinate is like this, I will surely report him or her to the HR Department. He or she will face a case insubordinate for refusing to do his or her jobs at work. The top management will not let this pass through and ignore the issue.
For workers refusing to work without a valid reason, I would give him/her a warning. If there is no improvement, I would fire him/her. Having such workers in a company would affect the morale and performance of the company.
Why should a worker refuse to work should be the first question, a worker that refuse to work shouldn't be there in the first place, a workplace isn't a place for gist and story telling , such worker need to be queried and left to make amendment.
And if the expected amendment is not seen within a short period of time, the worker should be dismissed so that someone who is ready to work can be brought it. It is an act of wickedness for a staff to refuse to work except in special conditions.
It is a normal case in any industry. Being in a production unit I always face such workers and make them give desired results we have to motivate them and sometimes have to threaten them for terminating them from the job.
Some people in the company that I am with are feeeling privileged of the work from home set up. There were a couple of them who were asked to back working on site but they refused to. One resigned and the other asked to stay as WAH.
I have a short fuse for acts of negligence. I would not threaten alone, I would go ahead to fire such a staff if he or she refuses to change. The business owner is making losses paying a staff who refuses to work.
Yeah , it will cause more harm to the organization when a worker refused to do his or her job , and that's why there is need for every organization to have a supervising staff who makes sure everyone does their work the way it should be.
If there are workers who refuse to work and if you have the authority to sanction them, I believe that it is the right thing for you to do in order to put them in line.
It's hard to deal with such workers, so we ask our HR team to intervene in such cases because they are good at it. There are lots of workers who won't say it but they don't work with their maximum efficiency and finding them out is not an easy task.
I think i will ask what the reason for not working is, then i hand them up to the human resource person to handle the issue after that there is no improvement, i will lay him/her off.
