TORONTO, Dec. 15, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Excellence Canada and Canada Life are pleased to announce the 2020 Canada\u2019s Healthy Workplace Month\u00ae Great Employers<\/a>. <\/em><\/strong>These organizations are being celebrated for their planning and actions to foster physically and psychologically safe and healthy workplaces, striving to continually improve across four main areas of focus, namely:<\/p>\n

\n Healthy Lifestyles<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

This involves helping employees develop and maintain healthy lifestyle practices, eat well, exercise, drop unhealthy or risky habits, and make optimal use of the healthcare system.<\/p>\n

\n Mental Health and Workplace Culture<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

Culture is created, reinforced and sustained by ongoing patterns of relationships and communications that can have an important influence on psychological health and safety. The organizational culture reflects values that support mental health, such as trust, fairness, respect, diversity, inclusion and teamwork.<\/p>\n

\n Physical Environment<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

Aiming to reduce the risk of fatalities and workplace disabilities, this area of focus involves fully and continually addressing matters of occupational health and safety, including the possible impacts of new technologies, production changes, increasing demands on time, and cost containment measures.<\/p>\n

\n Corporate Social Responsibility<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

The interrelationship between the community, the workplace and the employee can influence employee health and well-being, as well as the health and performance of the organization. CSR activities are often seen as voluntary, going above and beyond what is legislated or required.<\/p>\n
