The brain never stops and asking people to "check their baggage" at the door is a thing of the past.
Psychological health and safety is recognized by leading organizations like the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety, Mental Health Commission of Canada, Workplace Strategies for Mental Health, and workplace insurers like WorkSafeBC as an important component to health and safety management systems.
Unlock opportunities in existing programs or build new ones to foster mental health and wellness amongst your workforce. Ensuring employee wellness is increasingly required, but can also build up confidence, pride and resiliency within your company's culture. This, in turn can improve productivity and have positive impact on quality assurance.
We bring experience in the following areas:
Psychological hazard and risk assessments
Conducting a workplace assessment of psychological hazards and risks is one of the best ways to start work on mental health at any business. These can focus on entire businesses, a department or even a specific workgroup.
Return-to-work and disability management
An individual with a disability can contribute significantly to the workplace. This presents an opportunity for management to showcase their compassionate and adaptable qualities. However, the process can be daunting for many business owners. Our expertise and education in this field enable us to identify the critical challenges and obstacles, assemble the appropriate stakeholders, and develop solutions that will enable your worker to flourish safely.
Wellness program development
Wellness programs link existing services, resources and activities that benefit physical and mental health. Showcasing all of these in one place helps create a supportive environment that prioritizes mental health, build a positive workplace culture, which can see tangible benefits to your bottom line.
Critical incident response and stress management (CISM)
CISM programs are all about building up your organization and workforce’s ability to handle stress and potentially traumatic events. They focus on teaching workers how to recognize signs of stress and find healthy ways to cope. This helps them stay strong and bounce back from incidents. CISM programs also use peer support interventions, which help redirect workers to professional help if needed. Research shows that CISM programs can significantly reduce the number of disabling (lost time) mental injuries that happen because of stressful or potentially traumatic events. If your company engages in activities that could lead to stressful or traumatic situations for workers, a CISM program might be a good idea.
Integration of standards
Many companies have good things going on for mental health. But are they meeting the best practices or requirements outlined in applicable regulations and standards? We can help your company review which regulations and voluntary standards apply to you, including CSA Z1003-13 National Standard of Canada for Psychological Health and Safety in the Workplace. A gap analysis can show where and how existing company practices promote compliance and areas that need development.
Suicide intervention training
We're pleased to offer the LivingWorks ASIST suicide first aid. This two-day workshop is the leading suicide intervention training worldwide, and is proven to be effective.
Through carefully crafted participant driven sessions, workers become more comfortable with the topic of suicide. It provides management and front-line workers the knowledge and skills to recognize when someone might be having thoughts of suicide and intervene to keep them safe.
This training is a must for management personnel that support and interact with front-line workers.
