Managing Mental Health in the Workplace Recorded Webinar | Frederic Reamer | From: Mar 09, 2021 - To: Dec 31, 2021 |
Dealing with issues related to mental health in the workplace can be challenging and difficult to navigate. It is essential that organizations have the capabilities to manage mental health because early identification and support typically lead to continued productivity and retention of employees. With the right support, people with mental health concerns can thrive in the workplace. This workshop provides a roadmap to help managers participate in conversations with employees who may require support when experiencing difficulties related to mental health.
