Psychological health and psychosocial risks

A sustainable driver for engagement and performance

A holistic approach to healthy, caring, and meaningful environments.

With mental health challenges on the rise, organizations have a responsibility to build resilient and human workplaces. An environment where each person can harness their full potential contributes directly to an organization’s success and sustainability. 

Did you know? 

“ In Canada, the costs associated with mental health are around $50 billion a year.” (Smentanin et al., 2011; Lim et al., 2008) “Disability leave for psychological reasons costs on average twice as much as leave for physical illness.” (Dewa, Chau & Dermer, 2010)

“52% of workers feel that their SME does not sufficiently prioritize psychological well-being.” (CRRSMAT)

We will work with you to develop a customized approach tailored to your organization. Recognizing that every organization is unique, we take the time to understand your objectives, current challenges and aspirations. Based on this analysis, we develop customized solutions, in line with your specific culture and challenges.

When investing in psychological well-being yields concrete results

A Canadian study showed that organizations investing in psychological health programs see a substantial return on investment, with an average return of $1.62 for every dollar spent, and up to $2.18 after three years. (Deloitte Canada) 

Canadian organizations with measures to support psychological health record a 13% increase in productivity. (BCG)
