There is growing information that workplace mental health is becoming a more significant challenge (e.g., YOY increases in STD/LTD & WCB claims due to mental illness). Knowing workers’ mental health is a growing concern is not enough. Assuming that simply introducing programs and policies will be enough to have an impact is a common mistake. To positively impact workplace mental health, employers must understand what psychosocial risk factors and hazards are creating considerable strain on workers and leaders. They must then discover what protective factors they can facilitate by using a Plan – Do – Check – Act approach to reducing mental harm and promoting mental health.

Dr. Bill Howatt, an international expert in workplace mental health, will provide professionals tasked with facilitating workplace mental health a framework for putting your organization on the right track to transforming workplace mental health. All workers and leaders have mental health. How effectively employers and employees promote […]
