Mental Health and Wellness at Work
Services
A mentally healthy workplace is a necessity, not a luxury.
Mental health has become a crisis in Canadian workplaces. One in five Canadians is affected by mental health issues each year. An astonishing 500,000 working Canadians miss work every week due to mental health problems. This epidemic costs businesses billions of dollars in lost productivity and is taking a severe toll on employees.
Traditional wellness programs, with their focus on physical health and surface-level engagement, are insufficient to address the complex and multifaceted nature of mental health. What's needed are comprehensive solutions that create healthy workplaces, provide targeted support for employees with mental health needs, and facilitate successful reintegration for those returning to work after a leave.
We understand the urgency of this challenge and the need for transformative change. We partner with organizations to implement comprehensive strategies that prioritize mental well-being and create a supportive workplace culture.
Partner with us to create a workplace where mental well-being is prioritized and every employee feels valued, supported, and empowered to thrive.
A thriving workforce results in a thriving business.
Research demonstrates that organizations prioritizing mental well-being reap significant rewards, including increased productivity, reduced absenteeism, and higher employee engagement. Investing in your employees' mental health enhances their individual lives and fuels a positive cycle of success for your organization: healthier people lead to better business outcomes.
Partnering with us means investing in a healthier, more productive, and more resilient workforce. Our strategies are designed to:
Create Healthy Workplaces: We help organizations foster a positive work environment by identifying and addressing workplace stressors, promoting work-life balance, and cultivating a culture of psychological safety and inclusivity.
Support Employees with Mental Health Needs: We provide resources and training to help employees manage stress, build resilience, and access professional support when needed. We also work to destigmatize mental health conversations and create a supportive environment where individuals feel comfortable seeking help.
Facilitate Successful Reintegration: We develop customized return-to-work plans prioritizing a gradual and supportive transition for employees returning from mental health-related leave. We also offer ongoing support and resources to ensure a smooth and sustainable return to work.
Develop Leaders: We equip leaders with the knowledge, skills, and tools to create a mentally healthy workplace. This includes training on recognizing signs of mental distress, fostering open communication, and implementing supportive policies and practices.
