-
Reducing the risk of mental health issues
-
Identifying the early signs within the workforce
-
Responding to crisis situations
-
Assessing and signposting
-
Early intervention helping people return to work faster
Why adjust?
The Equality Act (2010) states that an employer must make reasonable adjustments for people with disabilities – and these include mental impairments.
From a business perspective, proactive support for employees’ mental health conditions can lead to higher morale, lower staff turnaround and increased productivity.
Research shows that work can be beneficial to recovery for people experiencing mental health problems, so making suitable adjustments and providing support are matters of best practice.
