Grief's
Impact on Work Performance
Your employees are your most important
asset for running your business and keeping it
profitable. Research indicates that illness or a death
in the family is the second most common problem which
affects workplace performance. When a death or other
serious crisis occurs, on average it impacts the lives
of more than 25 other people.
While 84% of companies have Employee
Assistance Programs, only 10% of employees use them. A
manager needs to do more than just send a grieving
individual to an EAP program which only addresses part
of the grief/crisis picture. He or she needs to know:
·
The impact of grief and how it affects the
entire team
·
What to do and say in times of crisis &
grief
·
How to talk to a grieving individual as
well as their co-workers
·
How the team’s productivity is affected during the
grieving/crisis period
Handling grief coaching expert, Linda Trignano, will address
the critical need to train your managers on handling
workplace grief and crisis issues in a workshop
covering:
Awareness
· That
the issue of grief and crisis is a part of every
business at some time
· Grief
affects not only the person in crisis, but their
co-workers also
Action
· Train
your staff
· Know
resources available to you
· Put
plan in place to handle grief/crisis
|
|
What your managers do or not do,
during times of difficulty directly impacts your
company’s bottom line. The interactions you
have with your employee during a crisis can have
long lasting affects on how they feel about you
and the company long after the crisis has
passed. |
Call today to find out how you can take steps now
that will show you what to do in times of crisis.
