Access the essential membership for Modern Managers
If someone on your team is struggling with their mental health, they might not tell anyone outright. Perhaps they don't even realize it themselves.
But there may be evidence available, in the form of behavioral changes or a drop-off in performance. And whether you're a manager or colleague, you need to be able to spot the clues, and know how best to respond.
On this episode of Pain Points, mental health consultant Tom Oxley explains how to recognize when people are having difficulties, and open up meaningful conversations with them.
Find out the right and wrong things to say. Explore how much to take on yourself, and how much to pass on to others. And discover some day-to-day habits that will make your team happier to talk about their mental health, and ready to get help when they need it.
After all, when people are suffering in silence, every other aspect of their work suffers too.
