In our new Bright Paper, we show how Sun Life and two other employers developed strategies that helped them:
- lower the incidence of disability claims and related costs
- reduce short-term absences
- increase engagement with support systems – such as employee family assistance programs
Results like these don’t come overnight. These examples show that with the right strategy and commitment great things are possible.
Success is within your organization’s reach
You may think that tackling mental health issues in your workplace is too overwhelming. But it doesn’t have to be. We have the resources to help you achieve your goals. Our free online resource, the Mental Health Strategy toolkit, provides tools and information that can help you get results.
We’ve aligned our Mental Health Strategy toolkit with the Mental Health Commission of Canada’s National Standard of Canada for Psychological Health and Safety in the Workplace. We also applied the expertise we’ve gained over the past decade to help employers improve workplace mental health. The principles outlined in the toolkit are the same principles that form the strategies highlighted in this Bright Paper.
One size doesn’t fit all. But we’ve seen how a tailored strategic plan can help employers of all types and sizes reach their goals. The toolkit is there to help guide you toward reaching your goals.
