    “Have I done enough?” Managerial overthinking and sense of guilt in the face of employee crises [WATCH]
    Małgorzata Wypych
    Mental health awareness in organizations has increased during the pandemic. It is also associated with a greater sense of responsibility and motivation to help, although managers are also exposed to stresses similar to those of their team. If you are not prepared to help your employees in a crisis, you must act intuitively. So many managers have dilemmas and often a sense of guilt whether they did everything they could to support the employee. Have I not exceeded the limits of privacy? Did I say something that rise the suffer, could we have offered more? How to gently redirect to therapy? What if I make someone cry? Was there anything else that could have been done before we dismissed the employee?
