Mental Health

The link between those businesses that encourage positive mental health and their business success is well established so it is important to know what steps you can take to do this in your business. Mental ill-health can be one of the main reasons that we lose valuable staff to absence and even through them leaving the workforce altogether. There are many reasons why mental wellbeing has become such an important topic for business owners, but encouraging a supportive and open workplace environment, where mental health can be discussed easily, is a great place to start.

Managing mental ill-health can feel a little daunting but there are some simple steps you can take to help you as a manager do this well so that you have the best outcome for you and your employee too.
