Work is supposed to be a place of passion and excitement. So when there is a lack of that, there may be something wrong. Depression is usually characterized by a lack of motivation, having no enthusiasm. This is a sure sign that an employee may dealing with depression.

-Absenteeism or tardiness

Is one of your employees taking a lot of time off work and showing up late? If this is abnormal for them, they could be dealing with a problem like depression. But be careful to not overthink this one too much. It’s ultimately your employee’s job to get professional help if needed.

-Not relating to coworkers

Relationships in the work environment can tell a lot about a person and what emotional state they are in. If you notice relational withdrawal by a specific employee, they could be in some state of depression. They may need help resolving their personal issues as well.
