As of December 2015, workplaces with 50 or more employees are required to perform stress checks, and companies are now more aware than ever of the importance of providing for the mental health needs of their employees. However, managers and HR supervisors, who are not medical professionals, may be very concerned about how to properly communicate with employees who have, or are suspected of having, mental health issues.
In order to fully support such business concerns, our company has a psychiatrist on-site once per week so that we can support your business with not only personnel management but also with occupational health.
