How can mental health problems impact on your organisation?
Some common areas of stress amongst your team may include:
- Workload
- Changes in the workplace
- Management styles
- Relationships in (and out of) the workplace
- Personal related matters
- Financial concerns
- Societal shifts
- Lack of organisation/line manager support
- Access to the right help at the right time
Stress, when left unresolved, can lead to further complex mental health difficulties, which in turn can affect your employees’ performance.
With additional mental health support ingrained into your work culture, as an employer, you will have ‘peace of mind’ knowing that all of your employees will be safe and more confident within their work environment, even if they do not talk openly about their ongoing concerns.
