Managing the balance between mental health disclosure and performance at work calls for the expertise of HR professionals. Khairil Baharudin IHRP-CP, SHRM-CP, Assoc CIPD, MSHRI, CHRA®, CEI-KAH, AWI and HR Business Partner Lead at a leading tech firm, recently shared his thoughts and experiences on this issue.   Under the Tripartite Guidelines for Fair Employment Practices, employers should not ask job applicants to declare their mental health conditions unless it is a job-related requirement. However, employees with mental health conditions may consider disclosing their condition to their managers or HR.   Khairil highlighted the persistent stigma and taboo surrounding mental health conditions in the workplace. Many employees, due to the conservatism of the environment, hesitate to disclose their mental health conditions. He shared that in his experience, some employees felt that team dynamics and morale changed after they disclosed their mental health condition, which could sometimes manifest in performance issues.   However, fostering an open conversation where transparency is key can significantly alleviate these concerns. For HR professionals and managers, it is crucial to reinforce the importance of collaboration and support, ensuring employees feel safe and valued.   While mental health disclosure can be challenging, with the right approach towards awareness and education from HR, it can lead to a more compassionate, inclusive and productive workplace. 🎧 For more insights on this topic, listen to the discussion on Channel NewsAsia's podcast "Work It": https://lnkd.in/gH7T2Z6R #IHRP #WorkIt #MentalHealthDisclosure
