This is proof that we need to address the topic, which can still be shrouded in taboo.&nbsp;Despite advances in awareness, it can still be embarrassing to talk about mental health issues for those affected by them, as well as for those who manage them in the workplace.<\/p>\n<h3>Mental health at AGF Group&nbsp;<\/h3>\n<p>I&rsquo;m proud to tell you about the mental health program we are introducing at AGF: the aim is to encourage a healthy, respectful workplace while avoiding stigmatization of mental health issues. We need to be able to demystify mental health so we can adjust ourselves accordingly and provide support to our employees.<\/p>\n<p>Out of our ongoing desire to develop health and well-being at work, we began by presenting the mental health action plan to our steel sector&rsquo;s management team in Canada. All of our managers were made aware of this issue through our partner Manulife (AGF Group&rsquo;s group insurance provider).&nbsp;<br \/>\nIn the coming weeks, details of the program will be presented to the health and safety committees, and then to all employees. The program will be rolled out by local management teams, with support from the Health and Safety and the Human Resources departments.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Along with this awareness-raising phase, there will be numerous tools to bolster this initiative, including an employee assistance program as well as the sharing of practical, proactive resources. They will be available to everyone on the Group&rsquo;s intranet as of November 1..<\/p>\n<p>It should be noted that we are pioneers in developing this type of policy in our industry. Its development and implementation are the results of teamwork, which makes me very proud. The impacts will benefit everyone and, above all, contribute to ensuring a better work environment for us all.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Ligne_bleue_separation_version_e-2236.jpg\" style=\"height:67px; width:400px\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><strong>Establecimiento de una pol&iacute;tica de salud mental&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>&iquest;Qu&eacute; es la salud mental?<\/strong><br \/>\nLa Organizaci&oacute;n Mundial de la Salud define la salud mental como un estado de completo bienestar f&iacute;sico, mental y social, y estima que es esencial para la salud global de un individuo.<br \/>\nEl t&eacute;rmino &ldquo;salud mental&rdquo; se utiliza con frecuencia en los medios de comunicaci&oacute;n y cada vez m&aacute;s asociaciones y organismos hacen referencia a &eacute;l. Esto prueba que existe una necesidad de tratar este tema, el cual algunas veces es todav&iacute;a tab&uacute;.<br \/>\nEn efecto, a pesar de los avances en cuanto a la salud mental, creo que todav&iacute;a las v&iacute;ctimas y las personas que se ocupan de sus expedientes se sienten inc&oacute;modas al hablar de este tema.<\/p>\n<p><strong>La implementaci&oacute;n en Grupo AGF&nbsp;<\/strong><br \/>\nMe enorgullece hablar del programa de salud mental que se est&aacute; implementando en AGF. El objetivo es favorecer un medio de trabajo sano y respetuoso, sin estigmatizar la salud mental. Debemos poder desmitificar esta problem&aacute;tica para ajustarnos en consecuencia y ofrecerles apoyo a nuestros empleados.<br \/>\nEn su deseo constante de desarrollar la salud y el bienestar en el trabajo, el plan de acci&oacute;n del programa de salud mental fue inicialmente presentado a los miembros de la direcci&oacute;n del sector acero de AGF en Canad&aacute;. El conjunto de directivos pudo as&iacute; sensibilizarse a esta problem&aacute;tica gracias a nuestro socio Manuvie (seguros colectivos de Grupo AGF).<\/p>\n<p>En las pr&oacute;ximas semanas, los detalles del programa ser&aacute;n presentados a los miembros de los comit&eacute;s de salud y seguridad y al conjunto de empleados. Este despliegue se har&aacute; a trav&eacute;s de las direcciones locales con el apoyo de los departamentos de Salud y Seguridad y de Recursos Humanos.<\/p>\n<p>Paralelamente a esta fase de sensibilizaci&oacute;n, numerosas herramientas apoyar&aacute;n al dispositivo, entre ellas, espec&iacute;ficamente, un programa de ayuda a los empleados, as&iacute; como el reparto de recursos pr&aacute;cticos y proactivos. Estas herramientas estar&aacute;n a disposici&oacute;n de todos los colaboradores en la Intranet del Grupo, a partir del 1 de noviembre.<\/p>\n<p>Es necesario saber que somos precursores en el desarrollo de una pol&iacute;tica como esta en la industria. Su desarrollo y su implementaci&oacute;n son el fruto de un trabajo de equipo del que me siento orgulloso. Las consecuencias ser&aacute;n ben&eacute;ficas para todas las partes y, sobre todo, contribuir&aacute;n a garantizar un mejor medio de trabajo para todos.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is mental health?&nbsp; The World Health Organization defines mental health as a state of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":58419,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[219],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-46246","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-health-and-safety"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46246","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46246"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46246\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":58423,"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46246\/revisions\/58423"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/58419"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46246"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=46246"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=46246"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
