It’s legislated!
Changes to the OH&S Act (Bill 30) have put increased attention on protecting the health and well-being of all Alberta workers, and inclusive workplaces have been shown to be healthy workplaces.
It’s critical to Psychological Health & Safety!
Work-related psychological health problems can be expensive to employers—absenteeism, turnover, health and safety infractions, and human rights violations all impact cost and time. Focus on inclusion at work to increase your organization’s productivity and performance.
