WSIBPresident

@brittlestar Congratulations!!

Don’t give up. Don’t give in.

On my last day at the WSIB, I want to say thank you and farewell. It has been a true honour to serve the people of Ontario in this capacity over the past five years.

If the past year has taught us anything, it’s the valuable lesson of talking openly and honestly about mental health. When it comes to offering support, no one gesture is ever too small. Mental health has always mattered, but now more than ever, every action counts. #BellLetsTalk

Today I shared this message with the WSIB team. It has been my honour and privilege to serve the people of Ontario and I look forward to the transition ahead.

It’s important to us @WSIB to find new ways of enhancing our customer experience for all Ontarians. Our Chief Technology & Innovation Officer @sliscio shares with @InsurTechD how we are committed to this vision through our digital transformation initiatives.

Our VP @RodCookBeSafe shares insight on how our Health & Safety Excellence program is here to provide Ontario businesses with a clear roadmap to a successful health and safety program. It's one way we’re committed to making Ontario a safer place to work. plant.ca/features/more-…

Leading an organization through a global pandemic comes with lots of uncertainty and risks. I wrote a piece for @TalentCanadaMag to share some important lessons I’ve learned over the last few months.

"How can we expect to help our people if we don't even ask how they are doing?” That’s thoughtful advice for any of us figuring how best to support our teams in this new context. How we act now, will lay the foundation of a stronger trust and openness. hbr.org/2020/05/how-ce…

Congratulations Giovanni. I look forward to working with you in promoting safe and healthy workplaces - best wishes in your new role.

In this WFH world, my calendar continues to be bookmarked with video conference calls. This article is a great reminder on why body language matters in any environment, while providing tips to be mindful of. Pro-tip: a smile still goes a very long way. #3c8b6feb4833" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">forbes.com/sites/carolkin…

Congratulations to everyone who is both working from home and homeschooling during this period! I know first-hand how hard that balancing act is. Here are tips I find useful on how to segment the day to maintain productivity. washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2020…

A tremendous thank you to our WSIB nurses, some of whom have stepped up to support Telehealth Ontario as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic. They make a positive difference in people's lives every day and never more so than now. #NationalNursingWeek

Thank you to @citytammie for speaking with me about the #DayofMourning. I hope everyone will take a moment today to honour those who have died, been injured or suffered illness in the workplace. @BTtoronto bttoronto.ca/videos/wsib-ma…

Today we recognize the #DayofMourning - the significance around the day has never been more meaningful. We should all take a moment to remember the 190 Ontarians we lost last year due to workplace injury and illness. Behind that number are 190 different stories of grief and loss.

If your business has much needed personal protective equipment for front line workers, I strongly encourage you to safely donate them to your local hospitals. Let’s work together to curb the spread.

Despite physical distancing, I strongly believe that a real sense of community and togetherness is on display as we all do our part to help one another. Earlier today, we donated much-needed personal protective equipment to @MGHToronto.

As part of our response to COVID-19, we are implementing service delivery updates. Watch this thread and visit our website for the latest WSIB information. wsib.ca/en/novel-coron…

This morning at the Health and Safety Symposium I spoke about the number of initiatives and service improvements happening at the @WSIB. Thank you to @cme_mec for their continued strong leadership in making workplaces safe and healthy.

On #InternationalWomensDay I want to recognize all the women who make a difference at the WSIB—and beyond.

With multi-generational talent filling our workplaces, we, as leaders, need to be proactive in providing a forum for employees to connect with each other. A successful workplace culture begins with common understanding and open communication. #6871851b1aa0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">forbes.com/sites/ashirapr…
