Calendar of Events

Presented by Kirstin Hood

Like most other organizations, the topic of wellbeing at TD Williamson has traditionally focused on sickness, injuries, and absences through the lens of physical wellness. Yet, it is mental/emotional health conditions which have been on the rise over the last decade. Employees do not experience mental health challenges in isolation. It permeates through all facets of one’s life and is a contributing factor to low morale, absenteeism, and increased attrition at work. 

To mitigate the negative effects for both the employee and the business, TDW launched a mental wellbeing program in 2022 focused on cultivating an environment that de-stigmatized mental/emotional wellbeing and ensuring employees feel supported in their wellbeing journey. This presentation will inspire and provide tangible ideas for HR professionals who believe wellbeing is critical to the long-term success of their organization. This presentation will review the TDW project, the work that was completed and then take a look at gauging it’s success. The final topic will be how TDW is taking wellbeing to a new level in 2023: Life Moments.

At this program, Kirstin will:

• Discuss the “Why” of wellbeing and the current market trends.
• Review the TDW project deliverables and outcomes in 2022.
• Explain a new approach to wellbeing: life moments.

At this program, we will be giving away a free OKHR State Conference registration from OKHR! You must be present and a TAHRA member to win.
