Psychological Health and Safety in the Workplace - 2024 Update

In partnership with Canada Life and Workplace Strategies for Mental Health, this study examines self reported factors of psychological health and safety in Canadian workplaces. The work is an update of a 2023 study and is informed by data gathered online from over 3,200 respondents by Pollara Strategic Insights in July 2024.

Among our more interesting findings:

  • Employed Canadians are more likely to say their mental health has improved rather than declined over the past 12 months.

  • One in four (24%) working Canadians report experiencing burnout 'most of the time' or 'always,' up from 21% last year but significantly improved since the pandemic.

  • More than two-thirds (68%) of employed people consider their workplace psychologically safe.

  • 23% of employed Canadians believe their workplace is not psychologically safe.

  • Half (52%) of managers believe they can identify when team members are struggling with psychological distress.
