Possible Warning Signs of a Troubled Employee

It is extremely important to understand that certain behaviours do not necessarily predict violence, but may indicate that an employee is experiencing periods of high stress. Each situation is unique. Professional judgment and outside assistance may be required to determine if intervention is warranted. Take particular note if:

• There is a change in the employee’s behaviour pattern.


• The frequency and intensity of the behaviours are disruptive to the work environment.


• The employee is exhibiting many of these behaviours, rather than just a few.
