Survey: Workplace Innovations & Emerging Solutions During COVID-19

The Conference Board of Canada (CBoC) and Public Services Health & Safety Association (PSHSA) are interested in hearing from employers and workers to understand the various innovations and emerging solutions your organization has implemented to support workplace health and safety during COVID-19, and how these are helping organizations through the pandemic.

 

We want to hear from you about:

  • How you are managing challenges related to the pandemic.
  • How you are supporting both essential and non-essential employees.
  • How you are preparing for the return to the workplace.
  • Anticipated effects on workers' mental health.

 

Please take a few minutes to complete our brief survey here: https://na1se.voxco.com/SE/82/RapidInnovationPulseCheck_COVID19/.

 

Those who take the survey will receive an invitation to attend an online session where Dr. Bill Howatt (Chief of Research, CBoC) and Glenn Cullen (CEO and COO, PSHSA) will share the results of the survey. In this session, you will hear about the innovative ideas and practices that businesses have undertaken which may spark ideas for improving your workplace's occupational health and safety program and supporting workers' mental health.

Happy Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) Awareness Day!
Twelve years ago a few individual workers, all knowing firsthand the debilitating effects Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI) or Muculoskeletal Disorders (MSD) can have on work and life outside of work, took it upon themselves to ignite a movement to raise awareness of these injuries, their causes, solutions and the need for fair worker compensation. This then resulted in International RSI Awareness Day, held annually the last day of February, the only non-repetitive day on the calendar. Communities and workers hold events to bring awareness to this important workplace issue.
