We have all experienced being “elsewhere” or “distracted” at work, thinking about how is Mom doing at home, did she take her pills, did she remember to eat. Or maybe off to another round of meetings with teachers about our child’s behavior or problems in school. Those are some longer term issues, there are also the immediate or unexpected distractions like substance abuse by teenagers, mental health issues, spousal illnesses. The list goes on. How can this affect how your employee thinks about her job and her commitment to it?
What behaviors or messages should you look for to tell if someone’s head is simply not on the tasks at hand? How can these stresses or behaviors affect others in the workplace?
What are effects on your business when employees are “elsewhere”, either thinking about someone they are caring for or absent to take care of them?
Such distractions lead to increased turnover as employees, often skilled ones, simply have to choose between caring for a loved one and work. How can you partner with your employee to support her while assuring the smooth operation of your business?
Recent research says over $25 billion a year is lost in productivity due to caregiving stress or poor time management. How can you rethink job duties or add flexibility to schedules to get the most of your distracted employee while reducing your own costs for retraining?
What are your legal responsibilities toward an employee who is also a caregiver?
Wouldn’t it be great if you could create a “tool box” of resources to assist your employees during this time!
Join our panel of experts to help you learn more about this exploding topic and problem affecting businesses and employees alike.
