‘I’m not sure it’s my role’, was a comment we received recently during a presentation on mental health converastions in the workplace.
We may notice that a work colleague or client is not their normal self. Perhaps their behaviour has changed or the language they are using and their demeanour is different.
But the person in the workshop was worried that they didn’t really ‘feel it was their place’ to approach the person.
It’s not uncommon to wonder whether it’s your job to start a mental health conversation or actually how to do that. Alternatively, whether you should get others involved, for example HR.
In addition, as a manager or coach, when do you take off your coaching hat, and focus on a mental health conversation?
During our Coaching Café this week join Natalie and Paula as they focus on mental health in the workplace and talk about the role we can play, including what to say, what not to say.
