About the Webinar

Optimum Talent is offering a new service that focuses on the impacts of mental health in the workplace. Through a variety of offerings, we can help leaders learn how to support employees mange difficult personal issues to ensure compassion, engagement and performance.

We know that many managers and leaders either have difficulty or lack the skills to have basic conversations in regards to Career Management, Feedback and Performance, so how do we expect them to handle employees coping with mental health issues such as anxiety, depression and burn out?

Through Workplace Emotional Health, Optimum Talent will equip leaders with tips, tools and techniques that can be immediately applied in order to recognize when an employee is suffering, offer unbiased support and guide their teams with compassion and clarity.
