Companies have been very good at creating a safe physical workplace. Now many realize the importance to include a safe mental health workplace. Intergenerational trauma, remote work environments, time away from home and family, racism, sexism and addictions add to the challenges of the modern workforce.
This session will welcome speakers from Glencore, Gitxsan Development Corporation and Makivik Corporation, and will be moderated by ERM Partner, Vicky Weekes.
Vicky leads a Sustainable and Community Development team that works at the ecosystem level with industry, governments, and Indigenous organizations on pressing sustainability issues – including in the mining sector. In collaboration with external partners, clients, and team members, Vicky has been building a Reconciliation and Self-Determination practice, that is aligned with ERM Canada’s Reconciliation Strategy. Vicky has degrees in resource and environmental management and psychology, and she is a registered professional planner with the Ontario Professional Planners Institute.
