What are some key strategies for organizations to identify and address early signs of mental health issues among employees? Share your insights and experiences on implementing proactive measures.
Stefan Campbell: Addressing mental health issues among employees is a must for every organization. The management must consider providing awareness and education, management training, Employee Assistance Programs, open communication, and regular wellbeing checks.
They should also have physical and mental health programs to monitor the employee’s mental health condition. As we all know, physical and mental conditions are related to work performance.
How can companies create a supportive environment for employees to openly discuss mental health and seek help when needed? Share examples of successful communication and resources that have made a difference in your organization.
Stefan Campbell: Aside from open dialogue or discussions, companies can also consider anti-stigma campaigns, proper training and education, leadership involvement, and feedback form/surveys.
I used online forms as a survey tool to get my team’s concerns about their work experience. From there, I got information on how they are having writing burnouts, as well as anxiety on dealing with their work schedules. That gave me a clear view of what needs to be solved – leading me to create a more organized remote work for them.
What role can training and education play in fostering mental health awareness in the workplace? Share your experience with impactful workshops, seminars, or training programs that have contributed to a better understanding and support of mental health among employees.
Stefan Campbell: A huge role. Some employees don’t even know that they are already experiencing mental health issues. Thus, training and education can help them understand that mental health awareness is crucial. Webinars, workshops, and training programs will definitely be an impactful solution.
