Why should we care about burnout?
Unaddressed burnout can result in many factors that impact a workplace including increased absenteeism, decreased productivity, poor workplace morale, breakdown of communication, increased risk of safety incidents and accidents and increased employee turnover.

Mental wellness affects your bottom line
Mental health problems are the leading cause of workplace disability in Canada, representing 15% of Canada's burden of diseases. Depression and anxiety disorders result in more workdays lost than any other medical condition.
This training helps you build your leadership skills in psychological safety, burnout prevention and gain a greater understanding of mental well being at work
