We all need different things when it comes to our work. This is particularly the case for those returning to work following sickness absence due to mental ill-health. While some may need flexible schedules, others may require frequent check-in meetings. If these needs aren't met, it can have a negative effect on our mental health and even lead to employees leaving work.
