Sadly, mental ill health is one of the top reasons why somebody might need to take a long-term leave of absence from the workplace.
When a member of your team has been absent for a long time, it can be difficult to know how to welcome them back to work. You might not be sure if they want to talk about their time off, for example.

It explores possible adjustments that might make the transition easier, the impact on the rest of your staff, and tips on providing ongoing support.
