Psychological Health & Safety An action guide for employers | Closing Comments Closing Comments Congratulations! You’ve just read through a guidebook filled with complex but useful material. It’s okay if you only read sections that seemed especially relevant -- that’s what guidebooks are for. In fact, if you identified three or four actions worth serious consideration by your organization, that’s a good outcome. The Action Guide has aimed to: • show that psychological health and safety is a critical concern for all Canadian employers • identify some effective and feasible actions • provide a tool to support you in addressing psychological health and safety. Without tools like the Action Guide, employers may feel perplexed and frustrated by increasing pressure to enhance protection of psychological health and safety. By giving employers detailed explanations accompanied by specific actions, it has been our hope to clear up this perplexity and replace frustration with problem-solving. Just as a travel guide orients a traveler to a new region and suggests rewarding itineraries, the Action Guide orients employers to psychological health and safety and suggests some rewarding approaches. And just as a traveler might have only enough time to visit a few spots (if you only have one day, here’s what to see in Rome), an employer might have only enough time or resources to implement a few of the actions from this guide. Not to worry, you can always come back to the guide (although you may never get back to Rome). We hope this Action Guide will prove helpful in your efforts to enhance psychological health and safety. If so, it will benefit both the psychological health of your employees and the financial health of your organization. 50
