Power Chat: Mental Health and the Easing of COVID-19 Restrictions in the Workplace
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed how we live and work, with diverse effects on Canadians' mental health.
Easing COVID-19 restrictions will continue to affect our lives, work, and mental health. How workplaces respond to these ongoing changes can have a positive or negative impact on Canadians' mental health, including that of public servants.
The Government of Canada is developing guidance for how federal organizations should respond to the easing of COVID-19 restrictions, including related psychological health and safety considerations.
During this event, expert panellists will answer your questions about mental health and easing COVID-19 restrictions in federal workplaces.
This is the 13th Power Chat from the Centre of Expertise (CoE) on Mental Health in the Workplace and the Canada School of Public Service. Through the Power Chat series, employees can explore the Federal Public Service Workplace Mental Health Strategy and ways to implement it. This series was co-founded by the CoE and the Federal Workplace Well-Being Network.
This event is part of the Easing of COVID-19 Restrictions in the Workplace Series.
