I recently became the director of a small nonprofit drug and alcohol rehab. I have an employee with personal problems affecting her productivity, mainly motivation. She also brings her personal issues to work and always seeks other employees' advice. I want to build a cohesive environment, but her going to other coworkers also affects their productivity. I've been trying to foster a "family" environment, which I admire about this program, but I also don't want it to hinder everyone's responsibilities. How do you think I should address this? Do I sit with the employees, give advice, and address it with them? Sometimes, they will talk for 30 or 40 minutes or longer.

Do your employees feel like you listen to them?
I take the time to know all of my employees and listen to their concerns and ideas.
There are a few key employees that I work closely with but there are others that I do not interact with much.
I have regular team meetings to keep everyone informed but only meet one-on-one during yearly reviews.
I am very busy with my own work and do not have time to interact very often with each of my staff.
