As a supervisor or manager, one needs to understand the pulse of the team. Every person comes to workplace to thrive and succeed but some time there could be personal issues that overshadow the performance. As a manager, one need to recognize the signs early, have an open and empathetic discussions, understand the issue, offer immediate support including adjusting workload, paid/unpaid leaves or EAP if there is an emotional turmoil. Confidentiality & Privacy is important to keep such discussion discreet and regular check ins to see if there is improvement to the situation. Involve HR/ER team in early stages to align on the steps and any further support that can be extended to ensure positive environment.

Wellbeing ist ein Topthema für Unternehmen und Investionen zahlen sich aus. Wenn Mitarbeitenden an allen Touchpoints ihrer Arbeitserfahrung geholfen wird und sie sorgenfrei leben, k?nnen sie bessere Leistungen erbringen, haben mehr Vertrauen und Bindung zum Arbeitgeber und tragen über positive Erfahrungsberichte zur guten Reputation bei. Im konkreten Fall sollte die Führungskraft oder eine Vertrauensperson das Gespr?ch mit dem Mitarbeitenden suchen, gut zuh?ren und gemeinsam m?gliche L?sungen diskutieren.

Once you recognise the sign of personal stress, offer support in following ways: - Flexible working hours - WFH if required - Early leaving from office for a perticular tenure - Initiate a counselling cell and align employees to address such issues with confidentiality - Allocate work to other team members accordingly

The world of work is demanding. And, employees facing challenges outside the office perform better when they have a healthy work-life balance. Encouraging work-life balance isn't just about employee happiness. It's about building a resilient workforce. By supporting and enabling employees to manage personal struggles, we equip them to handle professional demands more effectively. I believe that a balanced workforce is a productive workforce. When employees feel supported and have the tools to manage personal struggles, they're more resilient, engaged, and ultimately, more successful.

Cultivate an environment where employees feel safe, valued, and supported. Managers should consistently engage with their teams through regular check-ins and one-on-one meetings. This proactive approach encourages employees to bring issues forward, fostering a supportive and responsive workplace culture. Managers can only assess what employees choose to share, and without trust, honest and collaborative exchanges are unlikely. Therefore, the best strategy is to be proactive rather than reactive.
