Sometimes an employee may shows signs of difficulty, such as behavioral changes, increased absences or tardiness, decreased work performance, irritability, or poor concentration. These changes may indicate stressors in his or her personal life. The causes can include many things, ranging from health problems or lack of child care to marital discord or substance abuse and can often be a combination of several factors.
As your staff is a valuable asset, you will want to know how to approach a troubled employee in a non-confrontational manner, get to the root of the problem quickly, and develop an effective resolution. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to know just how to approach and help a struggling employee, but with the help of a skilled EAP consultant, you can learn how to effectively manage a troubled staff member and point him or her in the direction of available EAP services. Like personal stresses, workplace conflicts can also have devastating effects on productivity. Hard as we may try, it is impossible to avoid all conflict in the workplace. It is imperative that managers have the knowledge and skill to assist employees with communicating effectively, settling disagreements, and solving workplace problems. EAP consultants assist managers and supervisors by assessing problems, providing expert consultations, helping to identify external resources, and providing professional referrals when needed.
