As managers, it’s easy to focus on targets, deadlines, and performance - but what about the wellbeing of the people behind the results?
Stress and anxiety can quietly impact productivity, morale, and team dynamics. Many employees hesitate to speak up, leaving them to cope alone. Spotting the signs early is key to creating a supportive environment.
Look out for:
• Drops in productivity or recurring mistakes
• Increased absenteeism or last-minute call-offs
• Mood changes or low engagement
• Withdrawal from colleagues
• Trouble focusing or making decisions
The solution? Build a culture where it’s safe to speak up. Regular check-ins, active listening, and leading by example can make all the difference.
Ask yourself: Are your team members confident they can share their challenges without fear?
