In addition, taking action to support team well- being is an important part of a manager’s role. Listing actions taken as part of your Performance Management Agreement is one way to document information about mental health resources and activities shared with your team. Similarly, when supporting a particular employee who may be experiencing a mental health or well- being challenge, it is a good practice to save a record of discussions or information shared in a confidential space so as to respect the privacy of those individuals (e.g. email, OneDrive).
Remember : Due diligence is demonstrated by your actions before an event occurs, not after. Do not hesitate to contact your senior managers and Occupational Health and Safety for support and guidance in ensuring you’re practicing due diligence. You can also consult the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety resources on due diligence: CCOHS: Health and Safety Legislation in Canada - Due Diligence.
