Your people are your greatest asset, and their wellbeing is your greatest strategic advantage.

Why Invest in Mental Health?

Employee mental health is a key driver of organizational performance, which provides a competitive edge that transcends corporate responsibility.

  • 34% of Canadian employees cite workplace stress as the primary cause of their mental health problem or illness.1
  • Poor mental health can reduce employee productivity by up to 30%, impacting overall team and organizational performance.2
  • Companies that invest in mental health programs report a 400% return on investment (ROI) in terms of increased productivity, improved employee retention, and reduced absenteeism.3

Mental Health Impact Program

A Proactive, Evidence-Based Approach to Mental Health

Creating a psychologically safe culture that supports employee wellbeing and enables healthy, sustainable performance starts with a proactive and data-driven approach.

Our comprehensive, psychometrically-validated assessments measure 3 key mental wellbeing metrics – stress, risk of burnout and psychological safety – and provide insights into key areas for improvement.

From there, we co-develop a strategic roadmap to implement customized mental health initiatives and track their impact.

By measuring key indicators at strategic intervals, our evidence-based approach ensures that your investment translates into a healthier, more engaged, and resilient workforce.

The Assessment Process

We use a structured assessment process to ensure effective implementation.

1. Pre-Assessment: Establish a Baseline

  • Anonymous company-wide assessments measuring mental well-being metrics
  • Audit of existing mental health surveys, policies and programs

2. Customized Strategy & Implementation

Cultivating and improving mental wellbeing, especially during times of uncertainty and change, requires a sustained commitment. That’s why we offer a parallel approach: targeted interventions to equip employees with skills and resources for immediate stress management and resilience building, and strategic training to empower leaders at all levels to build the long-term cultural transformation necessary for lasting change.

To achieve this, we provide:

  • A strategic overview with a customized action plan based on assessment findings.
  • Targeted programs, workshops, and interventions to support employees.
  • Mental health awareness, self-leadership, and compassionate communication training for senior leadership to cultivate a psychologically-safe culture.
  • Practical tools and resources for embedding mental wellbeing into the organizational culture.
  • A dashboard for tracking key metrics and progress.
