We know that workers have been affected by the economy. ComPsych conducted a poll last year to find out just how much employees are affected. Ninety-two percent of participants reported "loosing sleep" over things like cost of living, credit card debt and mortgage payments. ComPsych, which is an Employee Assistance Provider or EAP, has experienced an increase in call volume as well.
As a project manager, you cannot really help much to solve workforce problems like this - unless you have a Wall Street bonus to pass out. But you can't stay out of it either, because apparently your workers are loosing sleep, distracted and simply not functioning as effectively as you need right now. If your company has an EAP, however, you can remind workers to use that service. Sure there are going to be those who will resist, but you want to create an environment where it easier for workers to make the decision to call for help. Simply remind workers about the number and how it was set up to call for just this kind of situation. Give them a link to where the services of the EAP are described. You can probably get more assistance by working with your HR rep.
