Having a strategy to address accommodation through all stages of employment is essential to meeting your legal duties and is a key ingredient in providing a psychologically healthy and safe workplace for all employees. Yet, every week in Canada, roughly 500,000 employees are off work because of mental health. For many, it is often environmental or attitudinal barriers keeping them out of the workplace. For those who do continue to work with a mental illness, they could be struggling with communication, performance, and work relationships. This is extremely costly for both the employee and the organization.
