Mental health at work
Talking to your employer, and protecting yourself.
Many people struggle at work and worry about telling anyone.
Should you tell your employer
That is your choice. Some people find it helps get adjustments. Others prefer to keep it private.
Possible adjustments
- Flexible hours
- Working from home some days
- Time off for appointments
- Changes to workload
Rights
In many countries mental health conditions can be protected by law at work. Rules vary, so check where you live.
Look after yourself
Use any employee support programmes. Take breaks. Use your leave.
