At some point during their career, many employees develop a personal problem for which they could use counseling or medical assistance. Counseling helps you deal with family, marital and relationship problems, substance abuse problems, financial difficulties, stress, depression, anxiety disorders, eating disorders and other mental or emotional problems. Employees are encouraged to make full use of local medical and counseling services as needed. In case after case of destructive behavior in the workplace, whether it be theft of property, fraud, violence against other personnel, suicide, or espionage, investigators have documented situations in which troubled employees felt boxed in . They have acted out of a sense of desperation, or a feeling that there is no other way out.
Professional counseling does offer another and better way.
I didn't get any help. If I had had some real assistance, the whole thing would not have happened. Ideally, a troubled individual will recognize a need for help and obtain it on his or her own. Often, however, those with serious problems will not take the initiative in seeking help to confront the problem. Indeed, denying the existence of an obvious problem is a common reaction by those most in need of help.
