Welcoming a Private Life Event of an Employee
WELCOMING A PRIVATE LIFE EVENT
Why this Moment Matters
Welcoming emotions from your employees is part of integrating private and professional life in a positive way. Whether the event is bringing good news or a difficult experience, the way you, as a manager will give room to the employee’s expression and needs will have a huge impact.
What to do as a leader
- Where to draw the line between private and professional is not an easy call and is for you to appreciate. Whenever the collaboration, performance, team organization or other work-related aspects are touched by the individual’s private events, a dialogue seems fair to have.
- It takes courage to show vulnerability. Listen carefully to the employee’s need to distill where you might have levers of resources to support within the professional context.
- If the event is a happy one, don’t waste a good opportunity to celebrate!
