Mental health is a broad term with many conditions falling under it. To that end, there's no one-size-fits-all approach to supporting workers with mental health issues. At its heart, your approach should be about listening to your employees and not making assumptions. That being said, options to consider lude:
- Well-being apps like Headspace or Spill, a tool for staff and managers that goes further than a standard EAP
- Screening programmes to help identify people who may be susceptible to mental health issues and provide targeted support at an early stage
- Proactively developing person-specific action plans around identifying signs of mental health problems, triggers, and whom to contact in a crisis
- Flexible hours and break times, provision of quiet rooms, and an agreement to give leave at short notice
