Conference Overview


To compete domestically and globally, organizations must protect and fully engage their employees. As workplace disability costs and absenteeism increase due to mental ill-health, more and more employers are developing comprehensive policies and processes to manage the challenges and mitigate their impact.

Mental health is the largest untreated epidemic facing Canadian workers.

Experts estimate that one in four employees suffers from mental health challenges, at a cost of $30 billion a year to Canadian employers. Mental health and well-being is an economic, social responsibility, labour shortage, and health care issue.

“…7.5 million Canadians – each year, every year – actually suffer depression, anxiety, substance abuse or another mental disorder.”—The Global Business and Economic Round Table of Addiction and Mental Health

Employers must redefine mental health in their workplace culture to prevent, support and maximize their ultimate productivity edge – a healthy, engaged, and motivated workforce.

“…50%-98% of the costs of depression treatment alone could be offset by resulting gains in productivity…”—Dr. Ron Kessler, Harvard Medical School.
