Recognise the Symptoms
Understand what you as an employer can do to make a difference.
A key to effectively managing well-being in the workplace is noticing and discussing major changes in your staffs’ behaviours and feelings and encouraging them to seek professional help when neccesary.
Similarly if staff tell you that they are acting in certain ways and or have certain feelings, it is in their best interest that you encourage them to seek professional support.
Some of these actions and feelings include:
- Being agitated
- No longer talking to family and friends and generally withdrawing from others
- Becoming afraid or suspicious for no reason
- Sleeping poorly or often being awake all night
- Developing strange ideas
- Hearing voices no one else can hear
- Feeling one has special powers
- Having difficulty concentrating
- Saying or writing things that don’t make sense
- Increasing use of alcohol and or other drugs.
