​Employee and Family Assistance Program - Manager Consultation
Every day as a Manager and Supervisor, you juggle priorities, deal with deadlines and make decisions for your team. Along with these demands on your time and energy, you are also responsible for providing a healthy and productive workplace for employees. Sometimes you may need extra assistance as you may be faced with aggressive behaviour in the workplace, workplace harassment, difficult personalities, suspected substance abuse, etc. The Employee and Family Assistance Program (EFAP) is there to help when that extra assistance is needed. By using the EFAP Manager Consultations, EFAP professionals are available to provide you with advice in managing these situations: ​
- Help to distinguish between performance and personal issues
- Tips on how to introduce the EFAP to an employee
- Advice on how to work with a troubled employee
- Assistance to deal with performance problems
- Guidance in addressing tough situations where there’s uncertainty on how to proceed
- Hands-on tips for problem solving employee issues
Work-Health-Life - You can also access various resources and tools by creating an account on www.workhealthlife.com and self-identifying as a Manager. Helpful resources and manager-specific support services are available in the Manager Area anytime, anywhere.
