Stress is an unfortunate, but unavoidable part of life. At some point, just about everyone needs help coping with the tension caused by such things as family hardships, marital or relationship problems, money issues, and a host of other difficulties. Many try to discuss problems with family, friends, or coworkers, but often this just isn't enough.
When employees' personal problems go unchecked, stress mounts and all too often work suffers. Left to grow, tension and anxiety spill over leading to decreased productivity, poor-quality work, increased mistakes, trouble meeting deadlines, poor judgment, and impaired concentration. Frequently, relationships with coworkers suffer as well. At best, high stress can lead to low morale; at worst, it can be the catalyst of violence in the workplace. Sometimes, job-related difficulties can be the cause of employee stress. Tension and pressure from work can begin to affect relationships at home. Coping with problems both at home and at work can be too much to bear, leading to even less productivity at work, stress-related health problems, and absenteeism.
Often, what is needed is an objective point of view or professional
perspective. This is where an Employee Assistance program (EAP)
can help. Through goal-oriented EAP counseling, employees can get
needed assistance with dealing with tough situations. Trained EAP
counselors can assist staff members with identifying problems, considering
options, and developing effective action plans. Contact us at Perspectives
by phone at toll-free (800) 866-7556 or via e-mail at info@perspectivesltd.com
to learn more about EAP counseling.
