Depression awareness
May 1st 2008 Employment relations service, Acas,
has produced advice on how to spot
and deal with mental health
problems at work.
Gill Trevelyan, head of training
and equality services, says "Spotting
and doing something about troubled
employees is an important business
skill. As well as being a good
manager in the traditional sense, we
urge bosses to look out for early
indicators before they develop into
something more serious, like stress
or depression. Healthy and content
workers translate directly into
productive employees."
This advice coincides with the
release of Acas' new free guide on
health, work and wellbeing. Available
at www.acas.org.uk, it helps
businesses promote and manage a
healthy workplace. |
