The following are few steps that you can do in order to deal with a depressed person, I know that sometimes you may not be able to do them all but try to do as many of them as you can in order to help that person feel better:

don’t assign him extra work: Its even preferred that you don’t ask him to do any task, however if its something essential then don’t overload him and let him do what he can do without being demanding.
the most important point, care for him: nurturing and caring for the depressed person is one of the best things you can do to help him. Depressed people may recover faster if they were surrounded by loving and caring people.
Be supportive: Studies have shown that depressed people who receive more support from friends and relatives recover faster from depression that those who don't get the same level of support
