Equipping Managers to Create Safe Spaces
At CSA Group, keeping people safe is about so much more than physical safety.
It's about creating a work environment where people feel safe to be who they are.
Mistry says, "We've trained our entire workforce on mental health awareness
– from both the employee and manager/leader perspective. We also have a key
performance standard focused on safety."
CSA Group wants to break down any barriers that might get in the way of managers
creating stronger, healthier teams, so they help ensure leaders understand
unconscious bias and know how to create inclusive spaces. "We want them
to create spaces where employees feel a sense of belonging and part of the
organization, which connects to mental health and DEI. Being a manager today is
so different than it was 20 years ago. The skillset required is larger, and the scope
is much broader."
