Managing an Employee With Depression

Learn strategies you can implement to help your employees' mental health.

As many as 1 in 5 American adults had a diagnosable mental illness such as anxiety or depression prior to 2020. COVID-19 significantly added to the stressors already being experienced by the general population. The American Psychological Association predicted, 'We are facing a national mental health crisis that could yield serious health and social consequences for years to come.' These facts demonstrate that employers, managers, and HR professionals must know how to manage an employee with depression.
