The crying game
![Page 16: Tackling stress in the Canadian workplace June 2011](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070315/55530338b4c9054e3f8b479d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

The crying game 1 of 2Crying is a normal human emotional response – don’t be afraid if this happens.Distinguish between work-related tears and life-related ones.Do not allow the fear of crying to hold back difficult but necessary conversations (e.g. addressing performance issues).Allow the individual time to compose his/herself and take a break if possible.

The crying game 2 of 2If you operate an employment assistance scheme, suggest the employee uses this to deal with personal issues they are bringing to work. If not, suggest they seek counselling. Do not get drawn into being an amateur therapist yourself.Assess any workload issues for possible stress triggers under health and safety legislation.Address any emotional intelligence issues that could be resolved with appropriate training and development.
