Leveraging the World’s Largest Untapped Mental Health Resource: People
Mental health issues are now the leading cause of workplace disability claims, accounting for 70% of workplace disability management costs in Canada. Stéphane Grenier knows the toll mental health problems can take on individuals and workplaces firsthand. Traditionally, mental health difficulties in the workplaces have been principally viewed through two lenses: the performance lens and the clinical one. Clinicians treat symptoms and leaders manage behaviours.
Anchored in decades of experience in improving the way large public- and private-sector organizations support their employees, Stéphane offers his audiences pragmatic advice designed to support workplaces in developing corporate cultures of open, non-stigmatizing approaches to mental health and well-being.
Stéphane encourages leaders to reshape corporate cultures by championing open, stigma-free mental health strategies that empower both individuals and their workplaces. Blending lived accounts, riveting corporate case studies, leading-edge research, and passionate arguments that the status quo is no longer acceptable in the field of workplace mental health, Stéphane prompts leaders to reconsider their approach and confront the undeniable reality: We cannot afford to overlook our most valuable mental health resource—our people.
