workplace health and engagement

In this time of uncertainty and stress related to the COVID-19 pandemic, Mental Health Works is providing a free webinar series to help employees and employers address the impact these circumstances may have on our work and well-being.

Public health agencies are urging the public to practice social distancing and self-isolation and as a result many people are working from home where possible. To help organizations and their staff with this new dynamic, Mental Health Works will be hosting a number of webinars about best practices in workplace mental health. 

Join the Canadian Mental Health Association, Ontario’s Mental Health Works 2020 workplace conference, “IMPACT: A vision of change for mental health in the workplace,” taking place at the Hilton Toronto, June 1-2. This is the perfect opportunity for employees, employers, leaders and researchers to come together in order to explore the IMPACT people and organizations are having on mental health in the workplace. The two-day conference will also focus on the workforce and workplace of tomorrow.

Please join us for an interactive, informative workshop where you will learn about the impact of impairment on health and safety in your workplace, discuss the roles of employers, supervisors etc. and create an action plan for managing impairment in YOUR workplace. You will also learn about the legislation, responsibilities and roles  that apply to workplaces around the use of tobacco, cannabis and e-cigarettes

How do employers effectively address substance use problems in a way that support employees' ability to thrive in the workplace and beyond?

The recent legalization of cannabis in Canada has many employers trying to find a way to quickly build or update policies to protect and maintain safe workplaces. However, it is essential to not focus solely on cannabis use when developing or amending impairment policies.

Employment is an important determinant of health. From inadequate pay to occupational hazards, poor jobs can contribute to increased injuries, disease and mortality. Alternatively, healthy and safe work can be a source of income, meaning and social connection that contributes positively to workers’ health and wellbeing.

The world of work is vastly different than it was a decade ago. New ways of doing business have not only shifted the way we collaborate but have also deeply transformed what a workplace looks like. How do we support employee mental health in a work environment that now transcends the office?
