✨ This Labour Day, we’re reminded of the fight for workers’ rights—but also of the modern challenges employees face: stress, pressure to perform, and burnout.

📊 In Canada, more than 1 in 5 workers report high levels of stress, and stress leave costs businesses billions every year.

The good news? Leaders can make a difference. By practicing appreciative inquiry, compassionate communication, and balanced workload management, managers can prevent burnout and create healthier, more productive workplaces.

💡 Our latest blog explores how leadership support is the key to reducing stress leave and building strong, resilient teams.

If your leadership team is ready to take the next step, Trauma and Stress Counselling can help build skills to support employee well-being and performance.

Explore Labour Day’s roots and why leaders must prevent burnout with better stress management and employee support.
