Dealing With Mental Health Problems

Employment relations service Acas has issued advice on how to spot and deal with mental health problems at work. The advice comes ahead of Depression Awareness Week (21 – 26 April) which is focusing on employment this year.

Gill Trevelyan, Head of Training and Equality Services says: “Spotting and doing something about troubled employees is an important business skill. As well as being good managers in the traditional sense, we urge bosses to look out for early indicators before they develop into something more serious, like stress or depression. Healthy and content workers translate directly into productive employees.”

The advice also coincides with the release of Acas’ new free guide on Health, work & wellbeing.
