📣NEW CERTIFICATE PROGRAM: Chronic and Episodic Health Conditions in the Workplace

More than half of working Canadians live with some form of chronic or episodic conditions such as anxiety, back pain, diabetes or cancer. Apart from the impact on individual wellbeing and, in some cases personal finances, chronic and episodic conditions affect productivity through presenteeism, absenteeism, and turnover, and need to be addressed in the workplace. However, responding to the needs of workers can be difficult because many of these health impairments are invisible and undisclosed.

For more details, please click on the link below which provides a description of the program and the courses making up the program.
