Today is RUOK Day, a reminder to check in with your colleagues, friends, and yourself. Mental health is just as important as physical health, especially in high-pressure work environments like trades or any workplace.

Here are a few signs to watch out for in the workplace:

Fatigue or exhaustion: Employees may seem unusually tired or disengaged.

Changes in behaviour: Sudden mood swings, irritability, or withdrawal from social interactions.

Decline in work performance: Noticeable drops in productivity or missed deadlines.

Increased absenteeism: Frequent or unexplained absences from work.

Physical symptoms: Complaints about headaches, stomach problems, or general unwellness.

It’s important to create a supportive work culture where team members feel safe to talk about their mental health. A simple “Are you OK?” can make all the difference.

Let’s all take a moment today to check in with those around us!
