New study seeks workplace parties who provide support to workers
Do you provide workplace support to workers with chronic health conditions?
A new ACED study is looking to interview people with experience supporting workers to learn more about how changes in Canadian workplaces have affected support for workers with chronic health conditions.
Over the past several years, a great deal has changed in Canadian workplaces – COVID-19 and hybrid work, a greater emphasis on EDI and psychosocial work environments, cannabis legalization and substance use issues. Researchers at the Institute for Work & Health are interested in understanding how these changes may have affected how organizations provide support to their workers with chronic and episodic health conditions.
To learn more, we are hoping to interview individuals who have workplace experience supporting workers with chronic health conditions, includingÂ
- supervisors/managers
- HR professionals and disability managers
- union representatives
- occupational health and safety (OHS) representatives
The interviews take about 45-60 minutes and are done by online meeting or telephone at a time that is convenient for you. Participation is voluntary and confidential. An honorarium will be offered to eligible participants. Interviews will be conducted on Teams, Zoom, or by telephone.
