In this presentation, Sapna Mahajan (Director, Genomics in Society, Genome Canada) outlines the importance of maintaining and supporting mental health, overcoming stigma, and ensuring psychological safety in the workplace. In a period where in-person contact is greatly limited due to the volatility of lockdown orders and vaccine mandates, workplaces must strive to keep their employees well and support those in need. Sapna also discusses Canada’s National Standard of Psychological Health and Safety in the Workplace – the first of its kind in the world.
