How psychologically safe is your workplace?
With mental illnesses being the fastest growing disability claim in the Canadian workplace, employers need to be sure they can answer this question. One in five Canadians will experience a mental health problem or illness.
A psychologically safe workplace
is one that allows no significant
injury to employee mental health
in negligent, reckless or intentional ways.
Between 10% - 25% of Canadian workplaces allow mentally injurious
work conditions, according to the
Mental Health Coalition. The value to
the Canadian economy of addressing preventable mental injury in the workplace has been estimated at
$8 billion.
The National Standard of Canada
for Psychological Health and Safety
in the Workplace, released by the Canadian Standards Association in January 2013, supports Canadian employers in improving work environments.
