The certificate recognizes the airline’s commitment to a culture that promotes well-being at work. The company is committed to making a difference for its employees by providing the resources, training, and support they need to raise awareness about mental health. “I am very proud of Air Canada for Excellence Canada’s Gold Level Certification. This recognition highlights our commitment to promoting a mentally healthy work culture, where well-being is not just a program, but an integral part of who we are and our daily lives. Through engagement and innovation, we are able to ensure that the mental and physical well-being of our employees, as well as their families, remains at the center of everything we do”, said Dr. Jim Chung, Air Canada’s Chief Medical Officer. Air Canada has developed Unlock the Best in You (UBY), an extensive health and well-being program for its employees. At the launch of the Mental Health First Aid program, held in 2022, more than 900 employees received their certifications, which allow them to support their colleagues in times of need. All Canadian-based employees and their families have access to unlimited, confidential counseling, and telemedicine, a convenient access to healthcare support. Air Canada also created the Mental Health 360 workshop and Mental Health Champions Program for all employees. The airline’s UBY team has also opened resource centers in Montreal and Toronto where employees can seek guidance on mental health; the centers have several initiatives and programs. – https://noticias.r7.com/prisma/luiz-fara-monteiro/air-canada-ganha-certificacao-nivel-ouro-para-saude-mental-no-trabalho-da-excellence-canada-24102024/
