Seasonal affective disorder: Best practices for companies - Phoenix Business Journal

Winter is coming — and that means your employees might be weighed down by cold, cloudy days.

“It’s really important for an employer to understand that the winter months can bring not just a gloomy day but also just a lot of stress around the holidays.,” Mosher said. Mosher had some tips for employers on how to recognize SAD and how to help. That includes: Revisit your sick-leave policy: Many employers developed a Covid-related sick leave policy, but Mosher said having extra sick leave can help workers battling SAD or other issues. She said she also tries to give employees extra time off around the holidays, such as a paid half day for them to practice self care.

Think about inclusive engagement: Engage your employees in fun and inclusive ways, for both in-person workers and remote workers, Mosher suggested. That could mean office parties but it could also mean virtual instructor-led dance or yoga classes. Add in games or contests and prizes for extra engagement.
