Mental health at work
Articles and key terms on mental health at work: stress, burnout, depression and employee support. For HR professionals and team managers.
Mental health at work has a tangible effect on absenteeism, turnover and team engagement. That is why more HR departments treat it as part of their strategy rather than an optional extra.

Explore our resources on recognising signs of stress, burnout and depression at work, and on providing psychological support for employees, for example through an EAP. We write from the perspective of HR teams and managers who lead people every day.
