A spare office or conference room works gre at, but avoid the bathroom at all costs if you plan on having any sort of discussion with your employee. Its fine if she needs to compose herself, but save the talking for a more professional atmosphere that doesnt involve an echo and running water.When an employee cries over something job-relatedIt happens.Anne Kreamer, author of Its Always Personal Emotion in the New Workplace, tells the Harvard Business Reviewabout how managers can zero in on the work issues when an employee criesThe most helpful thing you can do is listen and try to help them solve their work-related concernsIn the most extreme case, it could be necessary to suggest a leave of absence and bring in temporary help.
