Personal problems are one of the greatest detriments to productivity in the work place. They affect the employee both at home and in the workplace. It is easy for employees enduring personal crisis to feel overwhelmed.

Situations like this can often put employers in delicate circumstances. They want to assist their employees in a humane fashion, yet they also need to operate their business.

• Marion County Children’s Mental Health Therapist
• Marion County Juvenile Department
• Willamette Educational Services District
• Director of Counseling Services, Human Relations and Organizational Psychology

Her experience with families in crisis, children and persons with addiction place her in a unique position to offer assistance to employees in crisis. Her affiliation with NW Leadership Group gives her the balanced perspective to also recognize the needs of the employer in these situations. After an initial assessment phase, the employee will have a perspective on:

• What are the necessary steps to achieve resolution.
• What steps they can personally take to regain control of their circumstances.
• What resources are available to work through their particular challenge.

Employers can expect an employee agreed upon plan that will return the employee to productive work as soon as possible.
