It is easy to say that a person’s private life is clearly separated from their work life. But we all know that the line is not so clear-cut, or that the separation is so simple.
Examples abound but imagine the member of staff that must depart from work quickly for a family emergency. The work schedule must change for that person, the people they work with, and the business as a whole.
The activities we all enjoy can also have quite an impact on your job. Sports are not just limited to shuffleboard or dominoes; at the far end of that spectrum is rugby, a notoriously physical and sometimes violent (albeit unintentional) sport. Cricket may be considered genteel but being hit by a cricket ball at 100mph can crush bones. There are many more examples of sports and the injuries one can suffer playing them.
All of these things have an effect in a person’s work life that they may not have intended, or not have considered at the time. Breaking limbs playing sport, or putting up roofing tiles, may mean the loss of a significant portion of the worker’s wages as they go onto statutory sick pay. Their family may suffer especially if there is just one worker in the family.
So even though the bosses may say they don’t want to know what happens in an employee’s life, they still may be concerned, or profer advice and cautionary counsel.
