COVID-19 has had a profound impact on our lives, enforcing major changes, which for many have caused much stress and anxiety. In this episode, Business Gateway Highland Manager Danny Gallagher talks to Louise Stuart of Health Working Lives and Catriona Davies from Resolution Mediation Scotland. They discuss things you can do to maintain good mental health as an employer, and the steps you can take to look after your workforce during what is a strange situation for everyone. We also discuss how you might start conversations about mental health, the power of OK, useful apps, courses and techniques which can form a toolkit in and out of work.
