How to Recognize a Caregiver in Distress at Your Workplace

You can find family caregivers in every department in your workplace. They often don’t want to self-identify because they fear losing a raise, promotion or even their job. It’s probably easiest to recognize excellent or good employees whose work place behavior is changing for the worse.

Does your employee seem distracted?
Does your employee seem uncharacteristically moody or emotional?
Does your employee seem excessively tired?
Does your employee suddenly start coming into work late or leaving early?
Does your employee suddenly start spending a lot of time on the phone?
Does your employee suddenly want to curtail work related travel?
Is your employee making uncharacteristic work related mistakes?

If your employee is suddenly exhibiting any of these behaviors it may be a sign they are a caregiver in distress. You can take proactive measures now by providing them the suite of Care Giver Helper tools that will ease their burden and improve productivity in your work place.
