Supporting employees with anxiety: Working Minds featured on Reed.com
Prior to Mental Health Awareness Week between 15th-21st May, Reed spoke to our founder Simon about how businesses can support their employees with anxiety.
Simon explained the roots of anxiety and how they can impact performance at work, as well as how to help when team members are having difficulties with their mental health.
He said, “a positive working culture builds confidence in all to be honest with themselves and their colleagues, about health and wellbeing. At Working Minds, we don’t expect managers to be clinicians – that’s our job – but if you begin with compassion, do not judge, listen, and then ensure your colleagues are aware of the support available and check in with them, you’ll build a great environment for your people and yourself”.
Mental health can be a difficult and sensitive subject to approach in a work setting, but it’s so important to address to foster a healthy and happy workplace. To find out more, see the Reed.com article below.
