Supporting a team member with anxiety starts with regular check-ins and being there to listen and validate their feelings. Side effects of anxiety is withdrawing or isolating so being there, normalizing help, and amplifying healthy behaviors will help them to stay connected. Normalize seeking help, and if possible, look into available resources like Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) or mental health benefits. Encourage healthy habits, such as taking breaks, using PTO after busy weeks, or trying schedule-blocking. Suggest they speak with their manager (or a mentor) for ideas on reducing work-related anxiety. At the core, it’s about being there consistently. Just being present can have a meaningful impact.

1. Implement a "Check-in Scale" System Encourage team member to rate how they’re feeling, using a private message or shared group chat, with a number scale of 1 (feeling overwhelmed) to 10 (feeling focused and positive). This provides a quick, non-intrusive way to gauge everyone’s emotional state. If someone rates themselves lower on the scale, you can reach out individually to offer support, suggest a break, or help re-prioritize tasks to ease their workload. 2. Create Code Words for Safe Communication Introduce a code word or phrase, such as "red light" or "pause," that a team member can use to indicate they’re feeling overwhelmed or anxious. This allows them to communicate their feelings quickly and discreetly without going into detail.
