Why join the group?
Why this matters to our industries…
In Canada, more than one in five people is affected by a mental health problem or illness. Those employed in the services sector are more likely to experience mental health issues.
In October 2016, the Saskatchewan Government passed an amendment to the Workers’ Compensation Act, 2013, establishing a rebuttable presumption for those experiencing work-related psychological injuries. This has highlighted the employer’s duties and responsibilities regarding workplace mental health. Employers are responsible for handling psychological injury claims effectively and incorporating mental health into the existing Safety Management System.
Service Hospitality welcomes you to join our Mental Health Best Practice Group with over 130 employer organizations already participating and continues to grow!! Attend information sessions and/or receive emails with valuable resources.
