Morneau Shepell to host 5th annual summit on workplace mental health in Montréal and across the country
New research to be presented to Canadian business leaders at Employers Connect
MONTREAL, Jan. 21, 2016 /CNW/ - The link between stress, mental health and absence remains a significant challenge for many Canadian employers. Morneau Shepell's recent survey found that most employees who report mental health issues and symptoms of stress say it affects their work.
Morneau Shepell will present its in-depth research findings alongside Olympians and featured Canadian employers who will provide their insight on workplace mental health. The Company will provide an opportunity for business leaders to discuss practical actions, business implications and requirements for evidence-based solutions in workplace mental health.
Morneau Shepell invites members of the media to attend Employers Connect to be among the first to hear the new research.
