Dr. Ashley Spetch will discuss the connection between workplace health and safety and mental health, outline a call to action for employers to proactively address these risks, and address key questions including:

What are the guidelines for managing psychological health in the workplace?
What is Canada’s global standing in psychological health and safety in the workplace?
How can we prevent psychological injuries and empower leaders to act now?
How do we build a workplace culture that supports and safeguards employee/worker mental health?

Who should attend: Employers, business leaders, and HR professionals who are interested in fostering a psychologically healthy and safe workplace and supporting workplace mental health

Description:

The economic burden of mental health has been well documented, and much of the cost is absorbed by employers, but the human cost of this crisis is immeasurable. More people than ever before report increased stress at work and the impact it has on their mental health. Across the globe, employers are increasingly being required to address and mitigate the risks of psychological injury. In this presentation, Dr. Ashley Spetch will discuss the connection between workplace health and safety and mental health, and outline a call to action for employers to proactively address these risks.
