Kick Off Canada’s Healthy Workplace Month with These Great Resources!

Tomorrow marks the beginning of Canada’s Healthy Workplace Month: 31 days dedicated to elevating conversations about employee wellness and celebrating the innovative approaches employers are taking to support and promote wellbeing at work.  One thing I always emphasize is that effective wellness initiatives don’t have be costly, with respect to either financial or time resources.  In fact, starting small has the advantage of allowing new ideas to simmer within a workplace and permeate the culture before moving on to bigger ideas.  It’s also important to recognize that every employee has an important role to play when it comes to wellness in the workplace – it doesn’t (shouldn’t!) fall solely to those in leadership roles or HR professionals.  This month is a great opportunity to put some thought into how YOU can champion employee wellness in your work environment.  That could mean presenting an idea you’ve been chewing on to your team, or something as small as taking the time to check in with your co-workers to ask (really ask) how they’re doing.

Here are a few of my favourite resources for this year’s Health Workplace Month to help get your creative juices flowing.
