SUMMARY:Information is Useless without Action: How to rapidly impact workplace mental health
DESCRIPTION: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. \nTo 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. Transformation and impactful workplace mental health initiatives drive worker engagement and productivity and lower sick time and disability costs\, contributing to a secure and sustainable workforce. In 2020\, companies with the highest workforce treatment scores in Just Capital’s rankings outperformed the Russell 1000 by 4.7 percent. \nDr. 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 and protect workplace mental health determines how a work culture becomes psychologically safe and healthy. There are no shortcuts and no magic fixes to workplace mental health. Rapid workplace mental health transformation requires a commitment to continuous improvement\, collecting data\, engaging workers\, measuring\, reporting\, and auditing.

SUMMARY:Women in Leadership 2022
DESCRIPTION:Elevating the Role of Women in the Public Sector\nWomen have made a tremendous impact in the government; advocating for change\, influencing policy and law and paving the way for future generations. Despite the continuous efforts made\, women remain underrepresented within the public sector landscape. Women are still faced with challenges and barriers that only increase if they are a woman of colour\, are part of the LGBTQ2+ community or have disabilities. There is a significant disparity of women in leadership roles within both public and private sectors. This is due to longstanding stereotypes and biases\, which impact women from the time they are young girls. Systemic change is required to overcome and shift the perception surrounding women’s leadership. \nStatistics show that having women in positions of leadership directly influences and improves the socio-economic landscape for all. It is reported that there is a direct correlation between women leaders in government and the creation and implementation of more inclusive and equitable policies both internally and within our communities. \nIn this fifth segment of Public Sector Network’s Women in Leadership series 2022\, we will explore key factors that continue to hinder or discourage women leaders\, and how we can address and overcome them. We will discuss the importance of mentorship programs\, allyship and leadership development. We will examine what it takes to make a great leader and how to challenge common barriers. Most importantly\, we will highlight the strategies needed to quash what is problematic within our system and what we can all do to pave the road for the next generation of women wanting to pursue a leadership role.
