With one in four people in the UK likely to be affected by mental ill health at some stage in their lives, employers need to be able to manage the risk this presents within their organisation at every stage in the employment relationship. By providing an environment in which affected employees feel supported when issues do arise and where management are confident enough to be proactive, risks can be minimised, business can operate as usual and the workforce can be healthier, happier and more productive.
With the relaxation of Covid restrictions and a corresponding increase in office working, employers will also have to consider the problems that this change may present for employees and their mental health.
Debbie Fellows presents an Employment Law webinar, where you can learn practical steps to use to help support your organisation’s transition back into the office.

- Raising awareness of mental health and recognising the warning signs
