around dress, accent, ethnic origin, appearance– ‘Everyone else is keeping up with the work!’– Managing changes effectively

Where to seek help

• Seek help from a third person• Someone outside of your environment can be neutral and

objective• They can suggest actions you can take• Contact our 24/7, free, confidential telephone helpline• Talking to someone with the right skills and experience can be

your first step in getting back your self-esteem, job satisfaction and your life
