Employees are struggling now, more than ever, with mental health issues. The need to deal with these issues is affecting both employees and employers. Since 2020, the separation between work and home has been fuzzier than in the past, and employers face the need to learn how to balance employee accountability and accommodation. Littler’s recent 2 the Point “How can employers address the effects of employees’ mental health issues in the workplace?” explains how employers are equipped to deal with these issues and provides suggestions for improving the workplace.
If you have an employee who needs to take leave for mental health issues, we have resources to help. The ComplianceHR Document Center makes creating compliant leave forms more efficient. If you need more information on leave options available in your jurisdiction, check out Leave (FMLA) in the Reference Center.
