Benjamin is a co-worker of yours. you started working for the same organisation at about the same time and you have always
been impressed by his performance. he is friendly and gets along well with everybody
however, recently, things appear to have changed. he is late for work most mornings and although he tends to have an
excuse related to his family, often you suspect he is recovering from the effects of alcohol the night before. he puts in good
days work, and even with the extra time his work has declined.
after he is reprimanded by his supervisor about a report he turned in late, he is very upset.
question 1
which of the following ways would be best to approach him about what is going on?
choose one
suggest you go and have an alcoholic drink together after work, since that might be a more comfortable setting for
him and also loosen him up to talk
co to his home in the evening, as you have been there before and know where he lives.
suggest you have a cup of tea or coffee together on your afternoon break
it shouldn't be youyou would talk to your boss and suggest benjamin may have a mental health problem
