1 Show empathy and support

The first thing you can do is to show empathy and support to your team member. Let them know that you care about them and that you are there to listen and help. Don't judge, criticize, or pressure them to disclose their personal issue, but offer a safe and confidential space for them to share if they want to. Acknowledge their feelings and emotions, and validate their experience. Express your confidence in their abilities and potential, and remind them of their strengths and achievements.

Each person shares their personal life with whoever they decide to do so and solves their personal problems in the way they consider generates the best results In my opinion, the person should be offered: 1. The possibility of telling his problem to whoever he wants, to try to find a satisfactory solution 2. Opportunity to take a few days to resolve your situation without having to worry about work 3. Advice on any topic that requires specialized knowledge such as financial, legal and/or medical issues 4. Telework if it seems like a better idea than taking a few days 5. Continue with your normal work, without interruptions, regardless of what is best In any case you can change your mind at any time and your decision must be respected

O olhar humano sobre as situa??es, mesmo no mundo dos negócios, nunca pode ser deixado de lado. A forma como cada pessoa lida com as situa??es difíceis que se apresentam irá variar de caso para caso. Um bom líder conhece o perfil das pessoas que comp?e a sua equipe e, ao criar um ambiente de confian?a junto à sua equipe, é natural que um momento de conversa seja criado. Mesmo com a confian?a estabelecida, entendo que o líder precisa tomar cuidado, pois a rela??o entre líder e liderado pode ser delicada quando uma das partes pode misturar o ambiente profissional e pessoal. Independente disso, se mostrar presente e disponível a contribuir com toda a equipe é fundamental para que se possa passar como um time pelos obstáculos que possam surgir.

2 Respect their boundaries and preferences

The second thing you can do is to respect their boundaries and preferences. Don't assume that you know what they need or want, but ask them how they would like to be supported. Some people may prefer to keep their personal issue private and separate from their work, while others may appreciate some flexibility and accommodation in their tasks and schedule. Respect their choice and follow their lead. Don't force them to participate in activities or discussions that may make them uncomfortable or overwhelmed. Don't gossip or spread rumors about their personal issue to other team members or clients.

é necessário demonstrar a disposi??o em ajudá-lo direta ou indiretamente, porém sem tornar a situa??o como algo que você vai fazer o que acha que é certo, sem levar em considera??o o olhar do colaborador. Qualquer iniciativa só pode ser considerada se for conversada e aprovada, previamente junto ao colaborador. é preciso ter cuidado e n?o confundir a hierarquia profissional sobre a vida da outra pessoa.

3 Encourage them to seek professional help

The third thing you can do is to encourage them to seek professional help if their personal issue is affecting their mental or physical health, or if they are showing signs of distress, such as anxiety, depression, substance abuse, or suicidal thoughts. You can suggest some resources or referrals that are available to them, such as employee assistance programs, counseling services, or support groups. You can also offer to accompany them or check in on them regularly if they need someone to talk to. However, don't try to diagnose or treat their personal issue yourself, as you are not a qualified therapist or doctor.

4 Adjust your expectations and communication

The fourth thing you can do is to adjust your expectations and communication according to their situation and needs. You may need to lower your standards or modify your goals temporarily to accommodate their personal issue. You may also need to communicate more frequently and clearly with them to ensure that they understand their roles and responsibilities, and that they are on track with their deliverables and deadlines. You may also need to provide more feedback and recognition to motivate and reassure them. However, don't patronize or micromanage them, as this may undermine their confidence and autonomy.

Uma vez em que for constatado a situa??o do colaborador, é preciso um entendimento por parte do líder para que a melhor solu??o seja encontrada sob a ótica do colaborador, para que ele possa se recuperar de fato... jamais pode ser considerado que o afastamento/isolamento imediato ao colaborador é sempre a melhor solu??o. Muitas vezes, o ambiente de trabalho (ou até mesmo você como líder), podem ser momentos do dia inspiradores para que o colaborador com problema siga firme e em frente.

5 Involve the rest of the team

The fifth thing you can do is to involve the rest of the team in supporting your team member. You may need to delegate some of their work to other team members or redistribute the workload among the team. You may also need to explain to the team why some changes or adjustments are necessary, without disclosing the details of your team member's personal issue. You may also need to foster a culture of trust and collaboration among the team, and encourage them to show empathy and respect to each other. You may also need to monitor the team's dynamics and morale, and address any issues or conflicts that may arise.

6 Take care of yourself

The sixth thing you can do is to take care of yourself as well. Supporting a team member who is struggling with a personal issue can be emotionally and mentally draining, especially if you are also dealing with your own stressors and challenges. You may need to set some boundaries and limits on how much time and energy you can devote to helping your team member, and prioritize your own well-being and needs. You may also need to seek your own support from your peers, mentors, or supervisors, or from professional sources, if you feel overwhelmed or burned out.

If a team member is suffering from a personal issue, first and most important thing is to understand the situation of the person and empathise. To support the person, see the nature of personal issue if it’s short term or long term. Based on that provide help to the person through additional team members or offloading some of the work or time-offs if required. Give space to the person, build trust and give options to provide flexibility

My experience in the field, both on the ground and online, taught me that your peers open up to you because they trust you. So don't abuse that trust; that's the primary thing. I don't trust people when I show my vulnerable side or share my family life with them, and all they do is use that as a tool to gain more attention ?? block them as a whole! Listen more rather than jump to conclusions and provide help. We make work friends by showing trust. We are not there to make Hello! magazine friends. It's your choice. Are you here to make a positive impact or gain more attention? I show my principles and attitude here for who I am and what I'm working on and looking for.
