Everyone in the workplace is impacted by a complex range of personal circumstances that go on outside of work: things shaped by personalities, relationships, finances, physical, and social environments. Sometimes personal issues are so overwhelming that workplace performance is affected and employees bring "baggage" to work with them. Hosted by one of Australia's leading television and arts industry personalities, Michael Veitch, this film considers issues around identifying and dealing with emotional distress at work. Handling the Baggage contains valuable information and strategies for managers and employees alike.
