[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I could really use advice from someone in Human Resources.

I have a woman on my team who has an eating disorder (not eating).  I have had other team members express their concern to me about her lack of eating (not eating for several days).  The woman with the eating disorder has openly told team members that she doesn't eat, feels fat, etc.

One of the team members has now voiced her concerns to me.

I don't want to pry and get involved with her personal situation, but I do care for this person and want to make sure she's getting any support she needs.  What would you advise so that I don't violate any legal boundaries, while also making sure I'm taking proper steps to ensure she is okay.  It has not impacted her work at this point in time so I'm inclined not to do anything unless she seeks me out and then I can refer her to HR for EAP support.

Thanks![/quote]

Well you won't be violating any legal boundries I mean you're just notifying HR of your concerns. This could however affect the TM's job because HR will document what you told them and if the anorexia affects the TM's performance they will document that and keep documenting til she gets the boot. After all, most companies HR believe that Company &gt; Employees. EAP is run by the company as well. I would suggest she get external help from her doctor. There are various doctors in the DC area that specialize in eating disorders.[/quote]
