Psychological Health and Safety
Comprehensive Workplace Assessments
At Avana Safety Consulting, we recognize that psychological health and safety are just as important as physical safety in the workplace. Our Psychological Health and Safety Services are designed to help Canadian organizations create a supportive work environment that prioritizes mental well-being, reduces stress, and enhances overall employee satisfaction. We help you implement strategies that comply with national standards and foster a culture of psychological safety.
We conduct thorough assessments to identify potential psychological risks in your workplace. Our experts evaluate factors such as job demands, work environment, organizational culture, and employee relationships to identify areas that may contribute to stress, burnout, or mental health issues. Based on our findings, we provide actionable recommendations to address these risks and promote a healthier work environment.
Policy Development and Implementation
Creating a supportive work environment starts with strong policies. We assist your organization in developing and implementing comprehensive psychological health and safety policies that align with the National Standard of Canada for Psychological Health and Safety in the Workplace (CSA Z1003). Our policies cover critical areas such as workplace harassment, stress management, work-life balance, and mental health support, ensuring that your organization is committed to protecting employee well-being.
Training and Awareness Programs
Education is key to fostering a culture of psychological safety. We offer training programs and workshops designed to raise awareness about mental health issues, reduce stigma, and equip your employees with the tools they need to support their own mental well-being and that of their colleagues. Our programs cover topics such as recognizing signs of stress, effective communication, conflict resolution, and promoting a positive workplace culture.
Employee Support and Resources
Supporting your employees’ mental health requires ongoing effort and access to resources. We help you establish Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) and other support services that provide confidential counseling, stress management resources, and crisis intervention. Our goal is to ensure that your employees have the support they need to manage stress, improve mental well-being, and thrive in their roles.
