A Practical Toolkit to Help Employers Build an Inclusive Workforce

This toolkit from the Mental Health Commission of Canada is an excellent resource for creating an accommodating and inclusive workplace and addressing the needs of workers living with mental illness. The toolkit is divided into five sections: an organisational self-assessment that can help you to identify what your organisation is doing well and where it can improve; an exploration of workplace strategies and resources for addressing key issues; case scenarios; a framework to help you assess your organisation's ROI and predict related costs; and practical tools that can help you to monitor, evaluate, and ensure ongoing improvement. The toolkit will benefit HR professionals and employees tasked with wellness, diversity, and other sustainability-related responsibilities to improve recruitment and retention, and to support policies and practices that affect everyone.
