As we continue navigating the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath, Human Resources is focusing on providing you with the tools and knowledge you need to assist you to take your workforce from crisis to recovery. We are teaming up with the Canadian Mental Health Association to provide you with “Responding with Respect: Workplace Mental Health Skills for Managers” skill-building workshop. This interactive workshop has been designed specifically for managers and supervisors to build on your knowledge and skills to support an employee when they are struggling with what may be a mental health challenge, or with a situation that is affecting their mental health. These realities can impact employees wellness and performance.
What you will learn:
1. The impact of mental health problems in the workplace
2. The benefits of early intervention and external supports
3. How to effectively counteract stigmas associated with mental health problems in the workplace
4. How to use the 4R Action Toolkit® as a model for approaching and supporting employees respectfully and with compassion
5. How to practice a ‘trauma-informed’ approach in communication
6. Self-care strategies to support your own well-being
