Understanding mental health and wellbeing as an employer
Having a strong understanding of mental health as an employer will help you relate to employees and empathise with any concerns or struggles they may have. Mental health impacts how an individual can think, how they are feeling and how they act. The complexities of mental health mean that each case is different, and the needs of one individual will differ from the next.
It can also help other employees understand the feelings and thoughts of their colleagues better, creating a workplace environment that is empathetic and supportive.
You can also implement strategies that can improve mental health across your organisation, which we explore further in our blog post here.
