Good morning,
I'd be grateful for your thoughts. The organisation I work for has recently
employed a catering assistant who has ADHD. Since the commencement of her
employment (4 weeks) she has been late several times, had an episode of
sickness absence & is now off sick again because she is uanable to come in
and see her Line Manager. The staff she has been working with say they are
frightened of her as she can be aggressive in her manner and has threatened
to kill herself for example when she could not get an appointment with her
GP. They are worried she will attack them if they confront her about
anything, they are even worried about asking her to do the role she has
been employed to do.
HR are arranging to meet her; howevever as her condition falls within the
DDA and she was open about it at interview they are unsure where to go with
this. I have suggested contacting her CPN/Social worker; all the adjustmets
I have suggested do not fit with the business needs; additionally would a
disability such as this mean an individual would not have to maintain
Company policies and procedures.
I'b be grateful for you help.
Many thanks
Nicky
