Presented by the IWH:
Estimating the economic benefits of a fully inclusive Canada
Despite progress to date, persons with disabilities still face discrimination and other barriers to full participation in society. They have lower employment rates, lower earnings, lower education attainment, lower life satisfaction, higher poverty rates and higher health-care use. What would be the economic benefits if these barriers were removed? No study has estimated the economic benefits of a fully inclusive and accessible society. This study aimed to develop a framework for estimating these benefits across a broad range of domains and implementing it for the Canadian context.

Why Employer Mental Health Programs Aren't Working With Debbie Pearmain
January 26 at 10am MST/12pm EST
Workplace mental health and wellbeing has been at the forefront of HR's agenda over the past year and a half. Employers are doing more to support employee wellbeing than ever before and yet something is just not working. 70% of employee disability claims are related to poor mental health and over 500,000 Canadians are off work each week because of this. Since covid began, four times the number of Canadians are reporting higher anxiety. Learn why the current approach is not working and learn strategies of how you can more effectively improve the wellbeing of your employees. Register Here

Organizations are never neutral. If you’re doing nothing to create a more positive culture, it is the nature of organizations to become more negative. We have a name for this - “The Cost of Doing Nothing.” When this happens, turnover, disengagement, and lack of innovation follow. People in these situations experience overwhelm and burnout. Does any of this sound familiar? It truly doesn’t need to be this way, and we can help you create just the opposite!
Leading A Better Place To Work shows you how to unlock the creativity, engagement and innovation of your organization, by building a flourishing team culture where people can contribute their best! Designed for emerging leaders and business owners, this leadership framework with live coaching calls and video lessons will guide you through a complete workplace transformation. This new year, set your intention to lead a team that absolutely thrives! Visit Deborah Connor's site to hear what everyone is raving about.
