The Canadian Evolution - with Mary Ann Baynton

In this episode we chat with Mary Ann Baynton, the "godmother of psychological health and safety", and Director for Strategy and Collaboration at Workplace Strategies for Mental Health. She shares with us the story of the inception of the Canadian National Standard for Psychological Health and Safety - it all starts in a bar... In addition to the National Standard, Mary Ann has contributed to the development of a wealth of resources to help organisations better manage psychological health and safety - and they're free! We also talk about the role of leadership in creating psychologically healthy and safe workplaces, and how psychological health and safety interventions can help businesses achieve their strategic goals. https://www.workplacestrategiesformentalhealth.com/
