Not everyone will show obvious signs of poor mental health and it's important not to make assumptions. But some possible signs at work include:
- appearing tired, anxious or withdrawn
- increase in sickness absence or being late to work
- changes in the standard of their work or focus on tasks
- being less interested in tasks they previously enjoyed
- changes in usual behaviour, mood or how the person behaves with the people they work with
It can be harder to spot these signs if employees are working from home. It's important for employers to regularly ask their employees how they're doing. They should help them to be open and honest about how they're feeling.
