Total wellbeing | World Mental Health Day is coming up

More than one in five Canadian employees (22.2%) suffer from a mental health problem that can affect their productivity, according to the Conference Board of Canada¹. This is a major concern for companies, both for group insurance plan administrators and their members.

October 10 is World Mental Health Day, and we're taking the opportunity to take stock of mental health issues, perceptions and behaviours in the workplace.

To do so, we're curating a range of content for plan members in a campaign aimed at group insurance plan administrators.
