Employer Perspectives on Supervising Individuals with Mental Health Problems

Publication: Canadian Journal of Community Mental Health
2 January 2007

Abstract

The topic of mental illness and work has been examined in terms of consumer needs and issues; however, there is limited research from the employers' perspective. The purpose of this study is to examine the experiences of employers who have supervised individuals with mental illness. This qualitative, grounded theory study consists of semistructured interviews with 5 employers (4 female, 1 male). Results and conclusions shed light on the needs of employers so that they may better facilitate the return to work or the maintenance of work of individuals with mental illness.

Résumé

Le travail et la maladie mentale est un sujet qui a beaucoup été étudié du point de vue des questions et des besoins la clientèle; mais peu de recherches ont été réalisées du point de vue des employeurs. Cette étude qualitative et empirique porte sur les expériences d'employeurs qui ont encadré des individus souffrant de maladie mentale. Nous avons mené cinq entrevues semi-structurées avec des employeurs (quatre hommes et une femme), dont nous présentons ici le compte rendu. Les constatations qui en découlent permettent de clarifier ce dont les employeurs ont besoin pour arriver à faciliter le retour ou le maintien au travail d'employés souffrant de maladie mentale.
