Personal Development
Humans are emotional beings...I've always thought it slightly unrealistic to expect employees to 'leave their problems at home'. The person you employee is still a mother, brother, child, husband etc. - even while they are at work. I do try and teach and help employees though to learn to control their emotions instead of allowing emotions to control them.
