                    Psychological health and safety

                    We believe everyone deserves to feel safe to be their authentic selves at work. That’s why we promote healthy environments where staff are empowered to speak up, contribute fully and be true to themselves.

                    Covenant Health signed a public declaration of commitment to the National Standard for Psychological Health and Safety in the Workplace developed by the Canadian Standards Association. The first of its kind in the world, this standard includes guidelines, tools and resources to help organizations promote mental health and prevent psychological harm at work. 

                    Here are a few of the initiatives that help us foster 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 to outline a work environment where individuals believe they will receive fair and just treatment when involved in an adverse event

                    Recognition

                    Celebrating our people and their contributions—formally and informally—is entrenched in Covenant culture. 

                    Mission Awards

                    Our annual Mission Awards celebrates staff, volunteers and physicians who demonstrate our values in action: Compassion, Respect, Collaboration, Social Justice, Integrity and Stewardship. 

                    Our teams nominate their peers for exemplary contributions, and recipients are announced during a special event. Each Mission Award nominee and recipient is profiled and celebrated, helping us reflect on our values and celebrate team members across the province.

                    Milestones

                    We recognize long-serving staff who have reached milestones from five to 50 years of service with Covenant Health, including retirements. The program celebrates our dedicated staff with small gifts, certificates, recognition through internal communication channels and site-specific events.

                    We acknowledge that what we refer to as Alberta is the traditional ancestral territory of a diversity of Indigenous peoples and home to Treaty 6, 7 and 8. We recognize and give thanks to the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit who have lived in and cared for these lands for generations, all who continue to grace these lands and all future generations. We make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation and gratitude.
