A thorough search found some great tips, resources & facts surrounding depression in the workplace. Continue to reading for 5 quick tips for combating depression in the workplace. Read the full blog post.

*****
How, as organizational leaders, can we combat depression in our organizations?

1. Know the facts. What exactly can cause depression? Is it a heredity or learned illness? Many factors can lead to depression, including:
  • Stress
  • Anxiety
  • Physical or Emotional Abuse
  • Death of a loved one
  • Current employment
  • Chemical Imbalances
You can read up on depression by simply conducting a Google Search. You’ll find that the Internet provides some great resources and facts on depression and its causes.

2. Pay attention. Many employees will not speak to a co-worker or manager about their feelings because they may be afraid to lose their job, respect or confidentiality. It is important for managers and co-workers alike to be familiar with signs of depression. Be on the lookout for sudden changes in staff members’ behavior and/or some of the signs below:
  • Decreased or inconsistent with productivity
  • Absenteeism, tardiness, unavailable at work station
  • Withdrawal from co-workers or activities
  • Slowed thoughts

New Everything DiSC Supplement for Facilitators - Free with Everything DiSC Profiles

New Product Announcement

Whether you're in the process of interviewing a candidate or looking to facilitate one-on-one meetings with your current employees, the Everything DiSC Supplement for Facilitators is designed to help managers, coaches and facilitators learn more about participants' DiSC styles, prompting better interview questions and more meaningful discussions with employees.
DiSC Profiles Map 
This free report is a quick and easy review of your participants' DiSC style but takes it a step further by providing both the participant's scores in each of the DiSC styles and their unexpected characteristics.

Breakdown by DiSC Style 

As you know, we each have a primary (and sometimes secondary) DiSC style. However, it is not unlikely that we reach over into other DiSC styles. This portion of the report allows you to see how your participant relates to other DiSC styles. The results may surprise you!

When discussing DiSC styles with candidates, new hires or seasoned employees, it is vital to have as much information as possible before making decisions or facilitating discussions on workplace behavior. The "Breakdown by DiSC Scale" feature allows you to see what other DiSC styles your participant scored high in, allowing you to develop better interview questions or even an "A-ha" moment with an employee you've been having trouble connecting with.

Unexpected Items

The "Unexpected Items" portion of the report provides a list of characteristics that the participant may exhibit that aren't commonly associated with their primary DiSC style. For example, without this report you may be skeptical of a job candidate who scored a high S but mentioned her attention to detail in an interview. The report allows you to justify any unexpected characteristics from a candidate or employee, helping you to get a realistic, effective grasp of their behavior at work.


The free report can be generated along with the following Everything DiSC profiles:

  • Everything DiSC Workplace
  • Everything DiSC Sales
  • Everything DiSC Management
  • Everything DiSC Work of Leaders
EPIC Users: You will assign the Everything DiSC access code as normal. Once the participants have completed the assessment, you will generate the report as normal and select the Everything DiSC Supplement for Facilitators as the sole report or in conjunction with the Everything DiSC profile.
