This guide outlines considerations and provides advice on how physical and mental wellbeing can be supported as lockdown ends and there is a return to the workplace after several months of being in isolation. We will also cover what employers need to do to ensure that their employees feel supported throughout the transition.
Early indications suggest that the pandemic (and measures taken by government to control it such as lock-down and social distancing) will have a significant impact upon the mental health and well-being of employees. It is very possible that these mental health implications will be felt for many months and even years. As early as two weeks into lock-down, employees were reporting a range of health effects including negative impacts on mental health and overall well-being.
This guide outlines considerations and provides advice for employers, people professionals and people managers on how employee mental health can be supported as lock-down ends and there is a phased return to the workplace.
