Supporting staff with mental health challenges

Compassionate performance management in Catholic workplaces

Catholic organisations are committed to dignity, care and support - but managing performance concerns becomes more complex when an employee is experiencing mental health issues. This webinar provides clear, practical guidance on how to approach these situations with compassion while still meeting your legal obligations and maintaining a safe, functioning workplace.

In this session, you will learn:

• How mental health can intersect with capability, attendance, and conduct

• How to hold supportive, respectful performance conversations

• What the law says about fitness for work, medical information, and reasonable adjustments

• Strategies for managing recurring absences and return-to-work issues

• How to balance care with accountability
