In recent years, the hospitality industry has faced increased mental health challenges, impacting employees at every level. A recent survey found that over 60% of hospitality workers reported experiencing stress-related issues. Acknowledging its profound impact, many hoteliers are actively seeking solutions to support their staff’s mental well- being.

24/7 Access to Healthcare Professionals: Employees can consult with healthcare
professionals anytime, anywhere, ensuring timely support for their health needs.

associated with mental health issues and providing access to medical professionals that
might not be readily available in local clinics.

and monitor their mental health, providing early detection of potential issues.

management techniques, and resilience-building strategies are available.
The Canadian Hospitality Health Plan is seeking to raise the bar by supporting the hotel
industry with improved mental health resources, resulting in a higher sense of employee
well-being. These efforts lead to higher job satisfaction and morale. Providing a
supportive work environment will foster loyalty, reduce turnover rates, and lower
disability claims.
Investing in the mental health of your employees not only benefits them but also
strengthens your businesses and the hotel industry. The Canadian Hospitality Health
Plan is here to provide the support and resources you need to navigate these
challenges and ensure a healthier, happier workforce.
