Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Referring Bonnie to the Employee Assistance Program can provide her with resources and support to address her financial and personal issues, which may be impacting her work performance. Terminating her or putting her on probation may not address the root cause of her problems and could deepen her financial struggles. Telling her that her personal life is none of your concern can be seen as unsympathetic and unprofessional.
