Mental health problems are the leading cause of disability in workplaces across Canada. Research shows that one in four people in the workplace struggle with a mental health problem.
What does this mean for employers and employees in our country? Mental health problems result in decreased productivity, increased time off from work and higher accidents and grievances - all of which affect the bottom line.
Businesses that take steps to help ensure the mental health of their employees have more success finding and keeping employees they need in a highly competitive labour market.
We encourage employers and employees to share their ideas about how to help ensure workplace mental health. Ideas are posted in this section of our website to share with others.
