Adapting Quebec Businesses: The Key to Success with BTX Implementation
Mental health in the workplace is becoming an unavoidable priority for Quebec businesses, especially with the introduction of Bill 59, also known as Law 27. This legislation modernizes the occupational health and safety regime in Quebec, requiring companies to integrate psychosocial risks (PSRs) into their prevention strategies. But how can these new obligations be effectively implemented?
A New Challenge for Employers
The psychosocial risks encompass various aspects of work organization that can affect employees' mental health, such as work overload, lack of recognition, limited decision-making autonomy, and psychological harassment. These elements can have serious consequences on employees' well-being and productivity, making it imperative to include them in workplace prevention programs.
Legal Obligations & The Importance of Adaptation
With the adoption of Bill 59, employers are now required to rethink their approach to occupational health and safety.They must identify, assess, and implement measures to prevent PSRs in their workplace. This also includes the prevention of workplace violence including domestic violence,in the context of remote work, where the home environment is considered a workplace.
