You supervise a group of 10 people in a manufacturing environment.
One of your direct reports, Mitch, has confided in you that his wife has
left him and has filed for divorce. He has seemed depressed, often a
few minutes late for work, low-energy. One of Mitch's coworkers
mentioned to you that Mitch told him he "just wanted to blast
everybody", and at another time he "just wanted to close the door and
turn off the lights." The coworker is concerned about Mitch. What
should you do? Based on Mitch’s scenario, I have to take any direct report seriously (Mathis,
Jackson, Valintaine & Meglich, 2015). For his personal life, I have to encourage Mitch
by showing him the hope of the end. And I will let him know the changing in the life
is a healthy thing and discussed with him to see if we can help him to solve this
issue. Also, I would provide him some resources that would give him more details
about his legal status. Moreover, I would listen to his situation and thoughts on how
he can overcome this traumatic time in his life. More points I can encourage him is
the advantages he could gain it that make him valuable assets. Mitch's condition is
under a huge depressed and loss of hope he feels which may affect his attitude and
influence in his college. Most supervisors and employers manager takes action
immediately by let him go home to get some rest as an early effort to prevent any
harm may happen to him and employees around him. Employees consider their managers as a leader for guidance. Mitch trust the
manager by telling him/her his personal issue which means he confident into
manager ability. Therefore, I would protect my employees from any violence or
abuse. Additionally, I would recommend timely meeting with my team and exhibit
the stress in the workplace and support them into handle Mitch’s situation that
could support them to prevent measures. "Manager and HR department should
document inappropriate behaviors and meet privately with individuals to discuss
concerns, give feedback, and explain expectations” (Mathis, Jackson, Valintaine &
Meglich, 2015). The first step of an open door is provided Mitch all assistant need
(Mathis, Jackson, Valintaine & Meglich, 2015). Moreover, follow up with him by
implementing open door policy and show my commitment to him and all team
members (Mathis, Jackson, Valintaine & Meglich, 2015). Finally, I have to make sure
that all we are one team and one body and we would reach the best solution
together (Mathis, Jackson, Valintaine & Meglich, 2015).
