As part of the publicity around World Mental Health Day, Richard Martin writes in the Lawyer magazine about his experiences with mental health issues and how you can look out for warning signs in your workplace.
Noticing changes in your behaviour or someone else’s can be the first step in recognising a mental health issue, which can help you access the support needed to recover. They can be physical or emotional and behavioural, and there are some signs in the workplace that you could spot in your colleagues. They could include: Increased errors, missing deadlines or forgetting tasks Taking on too much work and volunteering for every new project Working too many hours – first in/last out/emailing out of hours or while on holiday An employee arriving late who is normally punctual Increased sickness absence Complaining about lack of management support or workload Being fixated with fair treatment and quick to use grievance procedures
