Healthy Tips For Employees
Sometimes we find it difficult to do certain unpleasant tasks. Especially if the task may
effect someone else in a negative manner. For example, last week, I had to inform two of my
subordinate employees that they were going to be laid off. Both of the employees had
children, both married and obviously had finances that they both had to manage. One of the
workers was a model employee. The other, not so good. For some reason, I found it odd that
it was much easier to Healthy Tips For Employeesadequate worker go versus the model employee. Both
employees were simply a victim to seniority, yet approaching the good employee posed a much
more difficult challenge. In fact, I am guilty of procrastinating this task to some extent,
but regardless, I had to do it. In fact, I was so disturbed by my behaviour, that I quickly
wrote down these simple tips for procrastination hoping to help others with their unpleasant
tasks.
The first tip for procrastination that I found helpful was to get it over quickly without
delay. As the day progressed, I found myself making excuses for not doing it sooner. If I
would have started the task as soon as I was informed myself, I would not have carried the
stress around with me all day. I found it more difficult as the clock ticked to handle the
situation effectively. I felt a sense of guilt as one of the employees ask me if I wanted
them to bring me a cup of coffee. Therefore, I found it would have been easier to simply get
it done and over with.
My second tip for procrastination is to have someone with you. I probably would not have
felt as nervous if I had another supervisor beside me. They may have been able to interject
their thoughts on the situation and open up some dialogue. Having a friend to lean on when
you are feeling nervous in any other situation works, therefore, I believe it would have
also alleviated the stress of delivering bad news.
