I work for a small family business, there is no way they could fund anything like this, you're own here. Which, I sort of agree with, but at the same time there should be acknowledgement that sometimes an employee won't be at their best, mentally and physically.
Sadly, while all of these workplace schemes are for the greater good, it's just too much for some businesses and opens up avenues for certain people to exploit these goodwill gestures or legislation.
My sister on the other hand works in management for a VERY large retailer, the protocols for just about every single tiny little possibility is borderline insanity, most of it so they are seen to be politically correct and not get sued. Too many layers covering too many contingencies. I'm glad I don't have to go through that.
