Retail Council of Canada (RCC) is proud to introduce the EnAbling Change for Retailers Program designed to help the retail sector create more inclusive employment practices, promote awareness and regulatory compliance, while driving a culture of respect and dignity for people with disabilities.
Kicking off this program is a four-part webinar series offering retailers the essential tools to integrate mental health into their operations, covering topics from the psychological health and safety factors impacting frontline workers to the connection between mental health and DEI. In this series, you’ll hear about psychological supports and programs from specialists in the mental health community, as well as retailers who are bringing mental health to the forefront of their organizations with employee-driven wellness programs.
