One of the most important responsibilities for an employer is to foster a positive and constructive work environment, especially for employees dealing with mental health challenges. A staff member's performance, reliability, and commitment are likely to improve when their mental health and well-being are supported.
This course is designed for managers who must work with employees suffering from mental health issues. While care and understanding are crucial, a business must still operate efficiently, and other staff members must work in harmony with colleagues who may require special attention. Making decisions that balance business needs and employee well-being can be challenging, but this course provides practical strategies to manage mental health situations effectively while creating a safe, supportive workplace.
