LIFT PROGRAM

Mental health is a growing concern for employers, and the Lift program is an ideal way to help employers navigate the challenges. As you work together with an Individual Placement and Support worker, you will gain new perspectives on dealing with mental health in the workplace. When your employees are connected with Lift, they will receive support that allows them to learn better self-management and to develop a better relationship with their workplace. This can reduce the costs associated with attrition. It can create a stronger team by having employees who are there long-term and knowledgeable about your business. Through problem-solving their challenges, they will gain a greater appreciation for how rewarding it is to do a great job and contribute to the success of your business.
