Mental Health at Work and Covid-19
While there are a wide range of mental health issues people can have to deal with at home and at work there is no doubt the current pandemic is causing added pressure and causing a number of issues like anxiety in people who had not previously suffered. Giving the correct level of support during the Covid-19 pandemic is a very important factor for employers. It is as important for staff working at home or in the office, or in any other capacity. Our team can offer support specifically based around concerns, issues and problems associated with the Coronavirus outbreak.
Common Corporate Mental Health Issues
The modern workplace can be a very stressful place. Sales targets, revenue goals, working relationships with other team members and workload can all be factors that cause a range of issues. Stress is common, but stress can often lead to other issues including depression and anxiety. The pressure to achieve on a personal level and dealing with promotion related concerns can also play a very big role in the mental health of anyone in the organisation. Businesses must also be aware of personal issues around money and relationships, family deaths and more, while they may not be a business or work issue they can have a huge impact on the individual and the business as a result.
Depression, anxiety, panic attacks, stress, anger issues, addiction and obsessive behaviours are all common in the workplace and can all have a serious impact on individuals, people who work alongside them and the business as a whole. We are able to offer corporate counselling and therapy services to business to allow them to support their staff and help improve their mental health as well as deal with crisis issues.
Why is Staff Mental Health Important?
Companies are far more reliant on the mental wellbeing of their staff than many realise. When a member of a team is in crisis or suffering long term chronic issues like anxiety it can have a profound impact on the business. The individual’s performance will be impaired, they may avoid certain situations like a sales pitch when they would otherwise have won the business. Depression, for example, can lead to long periods off work, it may prevent some team members working together in a productive way and so damaging productivity in the organisation. Often mental health issues can lead to other behaviours, anger issues in the workplace can not only affect the individual suffering but also those around them which in turn can lead to other mental health issues.
Corporate mental health is as, if not more, important than physical health when it comes to looking after staff and running a functioning business. We offer workplace and employee counselling services as well as more in-depth services around psychotherapy.
