"Absenteeism at work stemming from mental health issues constitutes one of the biggest challenges for today's businesses.  In Canada, it is estimated that problems related to mental health are the leading cause of work disabilities"

(Ranno, J.P., 2000. Mental Health and Stress at Work. Sun Life Canada).

In addition to providing training for prevention and intervention in the management of absenteeism, Relais Expert-Conseil also specializes in assessing these issues.  As a manager or member of Human Resources, you may, sooner or later, be confronted with such questions as:   

• How should we help an employee returning to work after a prolonged leave of absence due to disability? 
• How can we restore a pleasant workplace atmosphere which has been affected by high absenteeism rates? 
• How can we identify risk factors associated with absenteeism in the workplace? 

If these are some of the questions your company is facing, Relais Expert-Conseil can offer assessment and expertise in the management and prevention of workplace absenteeism. 

Thus, depending on the issues your company frequently struggles with, our evaluations in this feild can be made : 

• With an individual (assessment/specific expertise) 
• With work teams (investigations on team atmosphere) 
• Within the workplace as a whole (questionnaire/psychosocial survey) 

We will assess, among others things, the impact of various psychosocial stressors (ex. : mental health, stress, violence, harassment, addiction to tobacco, alcohol, drugs, etc.) on workplace atmosphere and absenteeism.

If requested, our evaluation report will present preventive strategies for the management of absenteeism, as well as guidelines for employees returning to work after a prolonged leave of absence.

Following the assessment, our expert will submit a written report that is : 

• clear and comprehensive; 
• supported by rigorous data; 
• delivered in a timely manner.
