Employee Benefits News
New behavioral health apps are proliferating, fueled in part by a flood of venture capital. EAP professionals have mixed — but generally positive & feelings about the potential of apps to help employees and to expand the level of service that EAPs can provide. However, there also is concern about exaggerated claims being made as to the level of service an app can deliver.

After an escalating debate about the role of psychologists in military prisons, the American Psychological Association voted recently to reject a proposed change in policy that would have allowed members to treat detainees held at sites that do not comply with international human rights laws.
The proposed change would have reversed a 2015 determination by the association that prohibited such work, effectively blocking military psychologists from sites like the military detention facility at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, maintained by the United States.

As technology consumes our lives, nudging us to respond to Slack messages at midnight and email pings on weekends, the concept of “work-life balance” increasingly feels like a myth, created to tease fresh college grads, torture parents and plague us all with perpetual productivity anxiety.
Workplace activists like Randi Zuckerberg argue that full-fledged work-life balance simply isn’t possible. Success, Zuckerberg says, is learning to be “well-lopsided” instead. That’s relieving to hear, but also easier said than done. And what about those of us for whom work truly is life? While many people cringe at the idea of working on weekends, some of us would rather do nothing more.

How frustrating is this?
You have a previously good employee suddenly engaging in bad behavior. Maybe they aren’t meeting deadlines like they used to. Or, they’ve done high-quality work in the past, but now their results are consistently subpar. Perhaps they aren’t communicating or collaborating with colleagues as you would expect. Or maybe they are coming in late more often and looking frazzled when they do.
What’s up? You’ve racked your brain trying to figure it out. Is there something going on at home? Is it an attitude problem and they just don’t care like they once did? Does the work no longer interest them? You don’t know what it is, but you have tried everything from your motivational bag of tricks to address the problem.

Monitoring work email during non-work hours is detrimental to the health and well-being of not only employees, but their family members as well, according to new research.
“The competing demands of work and non-work lives present a dilemma for employees, which triggers feelings of anxiety and endangers work and personal lives,” said William Becker, Ph.D., a Virginia Tech associate professor of management in the Pamplin College of Business, who co-authored the new study.

Most employers know what to do when an employee requests an accommodation for a broken leg. But when employees want to discuss mental illnesses, many in HR are suddenly at a loss — unsure what language to use, how to approach the subject or what can appropriately be done, Rachel Shaw, principal consultant and president of Shaw HR Consulting, told attendees recently. But employers have an obligation to get it right — for employees and for the bottom line.

The divorce rate in America hovers around 50 percent, Midlife Divorce Recovery reports. About 1.5 million people file for bankruptcy every year. And nearly 1 million miscarriages occur in the U.S. each year.
That’s a lot of personal problems.
Add to that average stress levels from work, and keeping employees motivated to provide consistent results becomes quite the challenge. Fortunately, by fixing processes and hiring more of the right people, you can control at least part of what makes the difference between level-headed employees and overwhelmed, unproductive ones.

In a working environment where managers feel comfortable offering help and support rather than avoiding employees with depression, absenteeism is lower and presenteeism is higher, according to a study covering 15 countries.
On average, this association between supportive managers and less depression-related absenteeism applied on a national level too, the researchers found. Employees who live in a country with a larger number of managers who avoid talking about depression tend to take more days off work, the study team reports in BMJ Open.
