Creating a psychologically healthy and safe workplace is crucial for fostering a culture where employees feel supported, engaged, and able to perform at their best. But how do you begin the journey? Many organizations feel overwhelmed by the scope of Psychological Health and Safety, unsure of where to start or how to implement meaningful change. This session breaks it down into manageable steps, helping you to eat the proverbial elephant… one bite at a time.

This session is a comprehensive introduction to Psychological Health and Safety, highlighting how it directly impacts employee well-being and productivity, and clarifying what it takes to build a workplace culture that prioritizes mental wellness. We’ll explore the 13 psychosocial factors outlined in Canada’s best practice guidelines, the CSA National Standard. Psychosocial factors refer to the psychological and social conditions in a workplace that impact employees' mental well-being, job satisfaction, and overall health. These factors influence how people experience their work environment, interact with colleagues and leaders, and manage stress. When well-managed, they create environments where employees feel supported, valued, and motivated. When neglected, they can lead to burnout, disengagement, high turnover, and serious mental health concerns.

Beyond theory, this session dives into practical strategies for applying these principles in real-world workplace settings. Through thoughtful discussion and actionable takeaways, participants will learn how to integrate these factors into daily operations, organizational policies, and leadership practices. By the end of the session, you’ll have a thorough understanding of the interconnected elements that create a thriving, engaged, and psychologically safe workplace — plus the tools and strategies to start making meaningful changes right away. Whether your organization is just beginning this journey or refining an existing approach, this session provides a clear, actionable path forward.

  • Understand the 13 psychosocial factors in the CSA National Standard.
