How does mental Health affect your workplace?
Canadian statistics.
Source: Mental health research Canada, Future Skills Centre 2022-2024.
Annually, the Canadian economy loses $50 billion on absenteeism and disability caused by mental health issues, while employers lose $17 billion on the cost to business of lost productivity.
38% of Canadian employees have taken time off work in the last five years due to mental health issues, including stress, anxiety, depression and burnout.
About 500,000 Canadians are unable to work due to poor mental health every week.
Only half (47%) of employees in large workplaces (500+ employees) are experiencing a positive workplace culture.
One in four (24%) working Canadians report experiencing burnout 'most of the time' or 'always'.
23% of employed Canadians believe their workplace is not psychologically safe.
As a licensed Mental Health Therapist with a Master’s degree in Industrial and Organizational Psychology, I specialize in assessing workplace dynamics, optimizing employee wellbeing, and aligning mental health strategies with business performance goals.
I work with companies that understand true growth happens when mental resilience and organisational strategy move together — creating healthier cultures, stronger leadership, and measurable improvements in productivity, retention, and client satisfaction.
