As a supervisor, you have the dual challenge of being responsible for the
productivity and wellbeing of those you oversee as well as your own work.
Often described by supervisors as one of the hardest parts of the job, employee
work/life balance, mental health and substance abuse issues can result in significant
supervisory stress. Issues of this nature can adversely impact the productivity and
morale of the larger work unit. Furthermore, supervisors faced with an employee’s
serious behavioral health concerns may experience a range of intense personal
reactions including fear, guilt or compassion fatigue.
Employee Assistance Program Consultants understand these challenges, offer
behavioral health expertise, guidance and support to assist supervisors successfully
navigate such complex situations.
