It's easy to ask for time off when you break a leg; it's difficult to share with your boss and colleagues if you're suffering a depressive episode. And, how do those conversations go if you're the boss? You want to say and do the right thing to support your people and your organization-and avoid legal issues. Research shows that 1 in 4 adults will have a mental health issue in their lifetime, and yet we're still ill-equipped at work to address this common experience. The HBR Guide to Better Mental Health at Work collects advice from a variety of experts on addressing an array of mental health issues in the workplace, from supporting someone in a panic attack to navigating sensitive conversations to creating systemic and structural supports for all employees. Whether you suffer from a chronic condition or you manage someone who does, you'll find practical advice on creating and upholding policies; providing resources, support, and accommodations; and steps you can take to reduce the stigma and improve mental health in the workplace. You'll learn how to: talk about mental health at work, make a disclosure, take a disability leave, cope more effectively with feelings of anxiety and depression, manage a chronic condition and your career-successfully, give support without overstepping, create a more empathetic culture, launch an employee resource group to provide support and connection'-- ER -
