The Doctor Whisperer - the BUSINESS of medicine

Tune in 5/2/22 at 6:30am EST to hear my thoughts surrounding MENTAL HEALTH IN THE WORKPLACE on The Doctor Whisperer Show!

May is Mental Health Awareness month and this episode is dedicated to spreading awareness about the importance of speaking about mental health at work,

We can make a great impact with our employees when leaders are provided with the resources to share with our staff that may be struggling.

▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎

Mental Health in the Workplace

 All members of a workplace share the burden of

depression and anxiety, it’s a vicious cycle. Change

starts with leaders, managers and HR professionals recognizing

the inner conflict many talented people feel, and doing

something about it. When people get the space and the support

they need, it can change their careers, and their lives.

 Mental illness is a challenge, but it is not a weakness.

When we acknowledge our mental health, we get to know

ourselves better, and are more authentic people, employees,

and leaders. Authenticity at work leads to better performance,

engagement, employee retention and overall wellbeing.

 Less than one third of people with mental illness get the

treatment they need, and this comes at a cost. Failure to

acknowledge an employee’s mental health can hurt productivity,

professional relationships, and the bottom line.

 What needs to change? Professional support needs to get

better. We need to have the option to ask for help, and feel safe

doing so. We need more flexibility, sensitivity, and open-

mindedness from employers. The same treatment and attention

they’d give to a broken bone or maternity leave.

What can you do?

Educate employees about mental health issues,

encourage them to seek help if they need it, and be a support to

colleagues who might be struggling with mental illness or addiction.

o Ask the right (direct) questions

o Offer resources (NAMI, Crisis Center of Tampa Bay, Recovery programs (FREE), EAP (employee assistance program)
