Expert panel: How employers can support employee mental health in 2023
Source: benefitscanada.com
The coronavirus pandemic put mental health squarely on employers’ agendas and this focus on employee well-being is even more important as some organizations return to in-person work.
In 2023, employers will continue to re-evaluate how they support their employees and it’s likely many organizations will provide increased flexibility, such as remote working options or a four-day workweek. They’ll also provide better support for their employees’ psychological needs.
Flexibility was a key theme in 2022, especially as organizations considered a return to the office. As European countries start to adopt the four-day workweek, the conversations are also increasing in Canada. Reports of increased productivity, better retention and recruitment, reduced stress and improved work-life balance will have many companies considering this option.
