Covenant Health signed a public declaration of commitment to the National Standard for Psychological Health and Safety in the Workplace.

It gives organizations guidelines, tools and resources to promote mental health and prevent psychological harm at work.

A few of the initiatives that help us build psychological safety at Covenant Health:

• psychological health and safety advisory committee
• workplace incident reporting line to report abuse, harassment, injury, near misses or psychological distress
• Joint Worksite Health, Safety and Wellness Committees
• just culture policy and guide, so you can trust you'll be treated fairly if something goes wrong
