Covid-19 has been challenging for most, resulting in an increase of anxiety levels for a multitude of reasons and exacerbating many existing mental health issues. 

As businesses and other organisations begin to open their (physical) doors again, returning to work will mean employers will need to reflect on their support for staff mental health and to consider how mental wellbeing strategies should evolve, given the new ways of working enforced by Coronavirus. 

To coincide with Mental Health Awareness Week, partners Vinita Arora and Jane Hannon from DLA Piper’s UK Employment Law team discuss how employers can prepare for a post-lockdown workplace.
