Mental health support for a return to work

Whether it’s financial worries, fear of a second wave, or the loss of a loved one, the indirect effects of the pandemic on general mental health are of increasing concern, and it is essential that returning employees have the right support.

Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, every employer has a duty to ensure the health and safety at work of all employees. This duty extends to the management of work-related stress, anxiety and depression.
