Description: Excessive stress – as well as other mental health problems, such as depression and anxiety – are estimated to cost the Canadian economy $33 billion each year in lost productivity. Fortunately, there a number of things that can be done in the workplace to not only help people achieve better work-life balance and manage stress, but also increase workplace productivity – and ultimately – improve the bottom line. Join Dr. Steven Stein, psychologist and CEO, as he discusses some of the findings from his new book,
Make Your Workplace Great: The 7 Keys to an Emotionally Intelligent Organization. Based on surveys with thousands of people in a variety of organizations, seven areas are identified that you can focus on to improve your work environment, including Work/Life Stress Management. This talk will focus on concrete steps you can take to increase employee health and engagement, and the overall productivity of your organization. There will be an opportunity for questions and discussion afterwards.
Each participant will have the opportunity to win a copy of one of Dr. Stein’s books, and everyone will receive booklets by The Psychology Foundation of Canada called,
Managing to Manage Workplace Stress and The Struggle to Juggle: Top Stress Management Strategies for You and Your Family (featuring information from PFC’s
Kids Have Stress Too!® Program). Information from other partner organizations like the Canadian Mental Health Association – Calgary Region / British Columbia Division will also be available.
Who Should Attend: CEO’s, HR Professionals, EAP Specialists and other senior decision-makers responsible for employee health.
