Poor Mental Health and Stress
Poor mental health and stress can negatively affect:
- Job performance and productivity
- Engagement with one’s work
- Communication with coworkers
- Physical capability and daily functioning
Depression interferes with a person’s ability to complete physical job tasks about 20% of the time and reduces cognitive performance about 35% of the time (Lerner, et al 2008).
Remember, it is everyone’s responsibility to promote mental health awareness and end the stigma associated with mental illness. Practice being open-minded about the experiences and feelings of your Eagle family and respond with empathy, offer support and encourage others to seek help. No one is in this alone.
