Tips in showing compassion
Tips in showing compassion to your employee’s when they or their family member is going through a medical crisis.
Tip #1 Flexible Work Schedule – Working from home, coming and going as they feel, allowing co-workers to take on their workload and responsibilities, schedule meetings and work hours around treatments, conference calls, etc.
Tip #2 Ask what they need – The best way in helping your employee is asking them what their needs are and how you can help them.
Tip #3 Emotional Support – Be aware of your local resources that offer counseling and support groups or get an Employee Assistance Program which assists your employees to local resources, send cards, flowers and/or care packages. Do frequent check up calls or emails letting them know you are there for them.
Tip #4 Financial Support – create PTO programs, allow employees to give their PTO hours to their co-worker, creating an individual medical fund for employees and employer to donate funds to or donate gas cards.
Tip #5 Allowing Co-Worker Support – Keeping co-workers updated, sharing the employees workload, organizing coworker support activities such as gifts of time (ex. household chores, making meals, driving to doctors appointments, etc.), planning a fundraiser whether it be a small in office one (ex. bake sale, jeans day, etc.) or outside the office (ex. benefit event, car wash, rummage sale, etc.)
Tip #6 Job Security – Doing whatever it takes to keep their job available until they get back.
Tip #7 Benefit Checkup – Early analysis of insurance benefits to determine medicals expenses, checking into what paid time off they have remaining, checking into any other benefits you offer as a company that might assist the employee and their family.
