Day of Mourning

Lisa Raymond on April 28, 2023

April 28th – Remembering those who never got to go home, or whose lives have been forever changed.

Across countless industries there are always pressures that can infringe on safety. Ours is no different. We must always keep safety closest to our hearts, and make it our number one priority.

Please join us in a moment of silence to honour our CUPE colleagues who lost their lives at work in 2022, as well as the thousands of workers from all industries who suffered workplace injuries and hundreds who died while on the job.

Health & Safety – In-Touch – Spring 2023

Lisa Raymond on April 27, 2023

Stress Assess results:

At 4,576 complete responses, almost 50% of our membership responded to the survey!!!!

Our member engagement is incredible, and we are excited to be entering this new era of engagement with stakeholders to create change for the better in all areas of our workplace.

Once researchers at our partner organization, Ontario Health Clinics for Ontario Workers, have completed an analysis of written comments, a bulletin will be issued with results and the next steps. As a sneak peek the top three psychosocial areas of concern, based on preliminary data are: recognition, social support from supervisors, and quality of leadership.

If you would like a copy of the resources listed at the end of the survey, please email sante.health@accomponent.ca.

REMINDER – Stress Assess Survey

Lisa Raymond on March 31, 2023

If you haven’t already out the Stress Assess survey, this is an urgent reminder. Your input is both valued and needed for the survey to be a success. To get a representative picture of how people are feeling about the workplace we are aiming for at least a 30% response rate. We currently have a 17.5% response rate. For this reason, we want to strongly urge you to participate. The survey can be accessed at the following link and should take about 20 minutes to complete.

CLICK HERE to access the survey in English.

CLICK HERE to access the survey in French.

Your answers will be kept in confidence and only the group results will be reported. The goal is to identify the main concerns so that we can consider ways to strengthen the psychosocial climate in our workplace. Participation is completely voluntary, but the more who participate the stronger the validity of the results.

If you have any concerns or questions about the survey, please email contact@accomponent.ca and we’ll be happy to discuss them with you.

Thank you for supporting our efforts as a union to promote positive initiatives supporting mental health in the workplace.

The Union has partnered with the Occupational Health Clinics for Ontario Workers (OHCOW) (www.ohcow.on.ca) to launch the Stress Assess Survey, which is based on the internationally recognized Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire.

If you’ve already filled out the survey, we want to take this opportunity to thank you for taking the time and putting in the effort to do so.

If you haven’t yet filled it out, please do! Your input is both valued and needed for the survey to be a success. Don’t be put off by the length! It takes about 20 minutes to complete but is multiple-choice and easy to read. It will generate detailed data about our membership that will help the Union better represent you in the months and years ahead. It’s a well-placed investment of your time!
