Mental and emotional health challenges in employees are common. The illness or death of someone they love, significant relationship breakups, and compounding workplace stressors are all triggers.
How do you broach the subject?
Mental Health in the Workplace
Most managers do not have the skills to deal with these complex personal situations – therefore often nothing is said, or done. In this insightful training program, you are not taught to be a Doctor or therapist; but you are given the skills to notice the signs that a team member might be struggling, and confidence to engage in a compassionate, and effective human-centered conversation.
Separate out the Performance issues from the Personal Issues
Through being authentically caring, you can begin to empower the person to seek assistance through an Employee Assistance Provider, their own Doctor or other relevant professional sources.
