In this course, students will first learn about the National Standard of Canada for Psychological Health and Safety in the Workplace (PH&S). This standard provides employers with a framework on how to foster psychologically safe and healthy work environments. The examination of a Case Study, "Health Region Hospital Group", will provide the context, content and careful consideration to the various presentations you will create along with the cohort group you will be assigned. Then, students (cohort groups) will develop a series of presentations that will demonstrate their knowledge of the steps to support organizations in implementing this standard. These steps will include presenting the business case and preparing for the assessment process to establish a baseline of psychological health and safety. Finally, students will recommend an action plan to implement psychological health and safety within the organization.
This course will have a final assignment that will be completed asynchronously two weeks after the session delivery.
