With 61% of employees saying their most common feelings amidst the coronavirus pandemic are anxiety, stress or distraction, HR may well have their biggest challenge yet. COVID-19 has meant that many companies have rapidly shifted to remote working, leaving HR with its biggest challenge yet – how to manage and maintain employees’ mental and emotional health remotely through such uncertainty. This book makes it possible for employers to pulse check employees’ emotional wellbeing on a weekly basis to track, measure and help any that are feeling distress through these difficult days. Through a wellbeing framework, employers will be able to understand early warning alerts, spotting issues of emotional distress like isolation, fear, anxiety, workload and ultimately, loss of productivity wherever employees are based.

This practical book is all about the things that we need to do long-term to ensure that you, and the people you manage, are remaining healthy, happy and focused when not working in a traditional office environment. It’s aimed at people who want to work virtually, who are always on the road, who need a more flexible life and routine that isn’t the traditional 9-5 approach. It’s also for people who manage others that need this type of work environment.
Do you ever feel you’re a fraud and about to be found out? Do you feel an expectation to keep going and to be strong? Do you ever think what it would be like to just…‘STOP’? You’re not alone. Mental ill health impacts one in four people every year, and professionals in high-pressure jobs are especially vulnerable. Life is a Four-Letter Word is a mental health survival guide for professionals, from a high-flying Big 4 accountant who’s struggled with depression, anxiety, stress and suicidal thoughts and learned a lot along the way. Andy now advocates positive action around mental health, working closely with business leaders across the UK to help them build mentally healthy cultures. He is a renowned speaker and writer on mental health, entrepreneurship and finance.
