Mental health concerns are on the upswing in Canada. Employees whose mental fitness is low are at risk for experiencing cognitive impairment, which may result in more risk for accidents (Total Safety research).
The cause of stress among employees is wide-ranging. Workers report being stressed for personal reasons (e.g. time, financial) just as much as they are stressed for work-related reasons (e.g. work demand). Such ongoing stress can have a negative impact on an employee's mental health.
We can actively engage in building our resiliency and developing micro skills that improve our coping mechanisms to mental health wellbeing.
