HAVE YOU SPOTTED THE SIGNS?

There are many reasons why mental health has become such a huge issue in the
workplace today, but one factor is that many cases go unrecognized until they become severe.
Here are some common signs that someone may be struggling with their mental health at work.
YES NO
Emotional
Employees who are struggling with
their mental health may seem
irritable, sensitive to criticism,
demonstrate an uncharacteristic loss
of confidence or seem to lose their
sense of humor.
Cognitive
An employee may make more
mistakes than usual, have problems
making decisions, or not be able to
concentrate. Look out for any
sudden and unexplained drop in
performance at work.
Behavioral
This could include things like
arriving late, not taking lunch
breaks, taking unofficial time off,
not joining in office banter, or not
hitting deadlines, becoming more
introvert or extroverted, generally
acting out of character.
Physical
Employees who are stressed
sometimes exhibit physical
symptoms such as a constant cold,
being tired at work, looking like they
haven’t made an effort with their
appearance, or rapid weight loss or
 gain.
Business
At a business level, look out for
increased absence or staff turnover.
Have you noticed employees
working longer hours or a general
drop in motivation or productivity
levels?
What is one thing the company/
agency can do to better support your
wellbeing during this time?

Yes Spotting one or two of these symptoms does not always mean there is an underlying
mental health issue. But, still consider checking on one’s wellbeing - especially if you know one
may be going through a difficult time inside or outside work.
No If you haven’t experienced any of these, you’re doing a good job looking after your
wellbeing at the moment. However, with mental health problems on the rise think about how to
safeguard this for the future.
