Managing an Employee with Anxiety: An Employer’s Guide
Anxiety is a common mental health condition that affects almost everyone in their lives, at some point.
It's perfectly normal to feel anxious around an important event; however, the issue arises when the feeling is so persistent and often that it becomes chronic. The modern workplace can become a breeding ground for anxiety if not managed correctly. Constant performance pressure, coupled with tight deadlines and having to constantly adapt to changing ways of working, can feel completely overwhelming.
For business owners the cost of failing to manage poor mental health in the workplace can be costly.
