Episode 185 // TW. Today’s episode is about mental health in the workplace, so if you are currently struggling with trauma or any other mental health-related issue, I will be discussing my perspective on this topic, hopefully to educate and enlighten leaders who are struggling with it. It may be triggering for some people. I am not a doctor or mental health expert, I’m just speaking from my own experiences. If you need someone to talk to, please Google your local mental health hotline and connect with a professional who can help.

There’s an ever-increasing number of articles, blogs, and podcasts talking about the human cost of the Covid pandemic, in particular its impact on people’s mental health.
This is a really sensitive topic, but it’s an area where your leadership skills are going to be challenged repeatedly. Some of the trickiest situations for leaders arise when an employee who’s struggling with personal issues isn’t performing their job to the required standard.
How much latitude should you give to someone who’s having trouble functioning at work due to personal struggles and challenges? And should you always insist that people meet the standards of performance and behavior that are so critical in building a constructive, high-performance culture?
In this episode, I go out on a limb to give you some guidance on how to approach these rather delicate situations.
