ACAS Guide on Mental Illness at Work

ACAS has published a helpful guide on tackling mental illness at work.  ACAS identifies the “fast-growing” problem of mental illness at work as “costing Britain more than £30 billion every year in lost production”.  The guide follows a step-by-step approach, aiming to show employers how to:

• spot the signs of mental ill-health early;
• raise awareness of mental health issues among managers and staff;
• develop a culture where employees feel comfortable disclosing a condition;
• approach an employee who may have a mental health condition; and
• help affected employees cope with or overcome mental illness so they can effectively work again.
