Stress and anxiety drive a large share of sick days, and most teams only notice when someone is already off work. This twelve-slide Google Slides deck gives an employer a plain case for acting early: why it matters, the signs managers can see, how to open a conversation and where people can get confidential help. Each slide is short enough to present in a team meeting, and the language stays non-clinical so that managers keep to their role.

The sample is a fictional Ivywell Group with 1,200 staff, a 3.4% sickness absence rate and 24 first aiders across three sites. It shows the signs, the conversation steps and the support directory in finished form. Replace the figures and the people with your own, confirm the contact details for your EAP and first aiders, and check your stress risk assessment before you present the deck.
