HR pros face many tough situations during their careers. One of these challenges involves learning the signs and mannerisms that could suggest an employee is struggling.
If an HR professional isn’t trained in this topic, they may turn a neutral situation into a negative, snowballing problem.
However, HR teams who help eliminate stigma, increase awareness, and provide resources to address issues can improve employees’ way of life and empower them to be better in the workplace. Join the conversation with the Future-Focused Terminal's host Seana Fairchild and guests Norma Martinez ConGlobal’s Director of Human Resources, Dijana Karajic, ConGlobal’s Director of Total Rewards and HRIS; and Lauren Slye, MBA, LPC, a Behavioral Clinical Strategist from Cigna.
Key takeaways are:
- HR professionals, employers, and people managers play a significant role in the lives of their employees.
- Breaking down barriers and eliminating the stigma around mental health encourages employees to get the help they need.
- There are signs people managers should take note of that indicate an employee is struggling, and Lauren provides tips for how managers can tee up help and resources.
- Help looks different for everyone. There are different types of therapy, and you should “try” a therapist out, and if the care doesn’t meet your needs, it’s OK to switch.
- The perception of mental health varies by generation. Older generations view mental illness or struggle as a sign of weakness, and are unlikely to admit to experiencing problems. In comparison, younger generations have a higher level of mental health literacy.
