Work Support: Make Or Break Ageism In The Workplace

By Michael Mitchell


Every organization is different and the culture of that organization is what keeps an employee happy and most importantly, loyal. Through the busy work day, life tends to get in the way and with life, comes general injury that throws you off guard as well as the colleague around you. To avoid ageism in the workplace, especially after the long period at home, the managers or the employer comes to head back to the working world with the certainty that it will be ok.

In an ideal world, it would be. Given that the organization you work for allows for that kind of support. Whether it is a physical or mental injury, support is vital to a persons well being. Especially since you are spending most of your time at work rather than at home.

Accidents at work are a given especially if you work in an environment where your body will naturally strain such as the health sector. Simple injuries such as back pain or leg strain can have lasting effects on a persons body and their job.

These workers perform strenuous jobs. Apart from walking from patient to patient, they are also in direct contact with diseases and infections. Even though this is just a job for most people, for others it comes with passion and they rather shrug off the pain than take the sick leave and rest at home.

To avoid being in this situation, take the necessary precautions to stay healthy. It is in everyones best interest if more time is spent living life to the fullest instead of lying in bed helpless. A once off medical issue may seem temporary but some injuries easily creep up again and it is always when it is least expected.

Having to stay at home when familiar with a certain work and life routine can sometimes be very demoralizing. Often people who are laid off due to injury tend to fall into a deep state of depression. This is aggravated if they are do not have anyone there to help them by cheering them up and making them go out to take their minds off their worries.

These days, the costs of living are rising higher and higher. The economy has taken a big hit and for one person to bear the burden of finance can take a major toll on a relationship, since sick pay sometimes is not enough. This becomes more serious when couples argue in front of their kids, creating the wrong impression on what a happy home is actually supposed to be like.

When the kids start to acknowledge the problem, the couple may turn on each other because of creating bad impressions. They may also start to feel as if they are not supported and may turn to others or feel more alone than they already do. A grounded home is a good home and making yourself aware that you need to take precautions can help avoid an unnecessary battle.
