    Factors outside work


    This list of questions on return to work has mainly focused on factors at work.
    However, there may be factors outside work, for example in your family life,
    which may have contributed to or added to the pressures at work. These may
    have made it harder to cope with demands at work that you would normally be
    able to cope with.
    You may want to share these issues with your manager they may be able to
    help at work and make adjustments, for example, being more flexible with
    working hours or just being sympathetic to the pressures you are under.
    If you do not feel happy telling your manager about these things, is there
    anyone else you can turn to, for example, your human resources department
    or employee assistance programmes at work? You may also like to look at the
