Mental health continues to remain a leading cause of workplace disability in Canada. In any given week 500,000 Canadians are unable to work due to mental health problems or illnesses. In addition, 70% of disability costs are attributed to mental health challenges. The key to managing mental health claims is educating people leaders with the necessary skills to identifying symptoms early as well as knowing appropriate Return to Work (RTW) strategies.
This webinar will focus on practical and appropriate training options for managers and best practices for implementing RTW plans specifically related to mental health challenges, including options and considerations for workplace accommodations. To facilitate learning, case studies will be reviewed to highlight best practices to reduce disability durations and improve successful outcomes.
