About the webinar:
Workplace mental health is no longer a nice-to-have. It is a strategic imperative for retaining and attracting talent, to reduce lost time costs due to mental injuries and maximize productivity and sustainability.
Workplace mental (behavioural) health protects and supports workers and leaders to show up to work ready to perform at their best. It can be measured by the degree the average worker and leader perceives their emotional, psychological, and social well-being in the workplace. Their experience in the workplace directly impacts how they think, fee, and act. Workers’ and leaders’ mental (behavioural) health determines how they cope with unwanted stress and the choices and behaviours they demonstrate under stress.
Learning Objectives:
- Explore critical considerations for creating a psychologically – safe workplace.
- Review the link among risk factors, hazards, and protective factors.
- Understand why workplace mental health requires a Plan-Do-Check-Act approach.
- Discover how to leverage a rapid approach to workplace mental health.
