Preparing Managers for Post-Holiday Mental Health Conversations

The conversations you have in the first week back can make or break your team's autumn momentum.

As managers, we often focus on catching up on work - but the real priority should be checking in on people.

In this video, I share 3 types of conversations every manager should have when their team returns from holidays.

✅ The Check-In Conversation 

✅ The Workload Conversation 

✅ The Looking Ahead Conversation

Plus warning signs that someone might be struggling with the transition.

Remember: You're not expected to be a therapist, but you are expected to be human.

Drop me a message if you found this helpful, and tell me - what's your biggest challenge when team members return from holidays?

P.S. - If you want to learn more about having effective mental health conversations as a manager, I'm running a course in September. Take a look here : https://www.peterlarkum.com/themanagerscourse
