Supporting staff during difficult times

Business.govt.nz has produced a series of worksheets to assist employers and employees to support each other through times of personal difficulty.

They include:

  • A worksheet to help workers decide if they want (or need) to let you know what’s going on for them.
  • How much to share with you or their manager.
  • How to prepare what they would like to say.
  • A resource you and your worker can use together to help identify what support might help them.

Worksafe New Zealand also has a section on mental health and wellbeing in the workplace and provides guidance for employers and employees.

If you would like to read more, the item below is presently on order for the Library collection and can be reserved at no charge.
