Best performance is as results of employees concentrate fully on their work. Worrying if they will be able to sponsor family or meet important needs, will for sure affect the outcome. What actions will you take to avoid the situation. Thanks Hassan www.dubai-travelbooking.com
Respect the individual, we all face bad times in our lives. It is funny to read the comments saying personal problems are not to affect ones work. I don't have a switch to turn off my person and my private issues when I go to work.
A decent manager supports in a way that fits the situation: gives time off, encourages to seek professional support and does it all with respect and dignity and privacy.
Coach him/her - get them to tell you what their issue is and let them tell you what they would like to do. Encourage and support them. The biggest relief to them is when they tell someone what the issue is and that that person is compassionate and listens. They will often feel immediately better and performance starts to improve. Keep listening and encouraging them until the issue is resolved. This could be hours it could be months, but as long as you are seeing improvements this should be acceptable
successfull managers and leaders would know if there is any problem with a member of his team before it even happines.
i have always quarantined my work environment,i don't wait for problems to happen,i act before issues become factual problems.
know your employees,team members ,and your surroundings.
if he has a problem today,it doesn't mean the problem is born today,it takes problems time to surface, .
be close to your employees and team members and always make them feel welcomed to come to you and ask you for advise on personal and professional matters.
it worked for me.
In regards to this sort of issue the direct line manager of the employee should be more responsible than anyone. If i am his/her line manager, i would flag this issue and arrange an immediate meeting with the employee to discuss the main reasons for his sudden drop of the performance.
Depending upon the level of the issue the action would be taken accordingly to get the employee performance on track. Motivating the employee, explaining the consequences of not reaching the targets, etc might help the employee to set back.
Thank you.
