Why Invest in Psychological Health and Safety?
The significance of mental health in professional settings cannot be overstated. In Canada:
- Mental health issues represent approximately 30% of short- and long-term disability claims.
- The economic toll exceeds $50 billion each year.
- Over 500,000 workers across Canada are absent from work every week due to poor mental health.
Investing in Psychological Health and Safety (PHS) programs for your organization is not just an investment in your employees’ well-being—it’s a strategic move towards reducing the financial impacts associated with mental health challenges.
