When stress and mental health challenges start showing up at work, it can be difficult for managers to know how to respond. And that becomes more apparent when employees are struggling to open up or performance begins to slip. 

In this podcast episode, our Director of Employment Law Gill McAteer and Professional Support Solicitor Emma McGrath discuss how businesses can spot the signs early, handle sensitive conversations confidently, and put the right support in place for their people. 

By listening, you’ll learn: 

  • The latest stats on mental health and workplace stress 
  • Common signs employees may be struggling 
  • How to approach difficult conversations with empathy 
  • The balance between supporting wellbeing and managing performance 
  • When to make adjustments and your legal obligations under the Equality Act 

Because when managers feel confident to respond with understanding (not just answers), everyone benefits. Employees feel supported, and businesses build stronger, healthier teams. 

Listen now to get practical advice from the experts.
