Canadian businesses must manage several issues surrounding the mental health and wellbeing of their personnel.
More than one in five employed individuals in the country (22.2%) suffer from a mental health issue that can negatively impact productivity, according to the Conference Board of Canada.1
It should therefore come as no surprise that there is an increasing demand for products and services that facilitate the management of these issues in businesses, for both administrators of group insurance plans and their personnel.
Mental Health Week
Mental Health Week will take place from May 6 to 12.
To raise awareness among group insurance plan administrators and their staff, offer useful tips and help them change their perceptions and behaviours about mental health, we're rolling out a practical guide.
It contains five easy-to-read fact sheets that highlight essential topics such as:
- Stress management
- Life-work balance
- The impact of physical activity, sleep and diet on mental health
The fact sheets offer:
- Wellbeing focused challenges
- Content on different mental health themes
- Advice on healthy lifestyles
- Resources for delving deeper into certain subjects
|
We support organizations' employees at every stage of their total wellness journey with advice and resources that meet their needs. |
