Gambling:


 
 

From the Human Resource Management Perspective


 

Backlash of personal problems hurting organizations

    Individuals who bring their personal problems into the workplace can often affect an organization.  It could be a situation where the individual can be helped or the individual needs to be terminated.  Gambling can cause emotional problems that the employee can not control.  He/she may not be able to meet deadlines.  They could be late to work or not even come to work at all.  Higher positioned employees might have to be decisive on important issues, but cannot because of their on-going gambling problems.  In any case people should be aware of what can happen to them, because of the problems in gambling.
