The Mentally Healthy Workplace: Awareness and Foundations 

What does a mentally healthy workplace look like? Imagine employees who are engaged, motivated, and surpassing expectations. Leaders and staff enjoy strong, reciprocal relationships. Absenteeism and disability claims are at an all-time low, while retention and recruitment are at an all-time high. Morale is exceptional, and your organization is known as a great place to work.

​

This condensed, information-rich session provides a broad overview of the key factors that create and sustain this kind of workplace. Participants will gain insight into the scope and impact of mental health in the workplace, including the costs of absenteeism, presenteeism, and disengagement. Core topics include understanding depression and anxiety, recognizing stigma in all its forms, employer and employee legal responsibilities, and how to have supportive conversations that connect individuals with the right resources.

​

Designed as an awareness-building seminar, this session is ideal for leadership teams with limited time who want the “nuts and bolts” of workplace mental health. It provides a clear foundation for future action, helping organizations start conversations and take meaningful first steps toward creating a culture of psychological safety.
