Employee Health Services

interprofessional health care team at patient bedside

Toronto Grace believes that all of our staff are members of the care team and that care for the caregiver is the cornerstone of excellence in our organization. Our Employee Health Services provides a comprehensive program designed to meet the needs of today’s workforce and to take a dynamic approach in promoting health and safety among our staff.

Ergonomic Consultation

Employee Health provides ergonomic assessments and education for employees to ensure that their workstations are properly set up to enhance comfort and productivity and to prevent injuries.

Employee Assistance Program

Toronto Grace recognizes that we all may need some extra help at some time. The more complex life becomes, the more challenges we face at home and at work. Sometimes when those challenges become stressful and overwhelming, experienced counselors can provide the help we need. Toronto Grace’s Employee Assistance Program (EAP) offers a voluntary, confidential short-term counseling and advisory service for employees and eligible family members that connect them to a network of dedicated professionals who are available for assistance 24 hours a day.

Flu Program

Designed to assist our employees, physicians and volunteers to maintain their health, Toronto Grace coordinates and delivers a highly visible annual flu awareness campaign and offers complimentary flu vaccine through a program designed to meet everyone’s individual schedules. Employee Health provides vaccination through its office and also through a traveling vaccine cart.

Health Surveillance

Confidential post offer and pre-employment health assessment and screening are completed by Employee Health to ensure the individuals providing care and service to our patients are immune to communicable diseases and able to perform their duties safely without injury or illness to themselves, coworkers and patients.

Workplace Violence Prevention Program

To ensure that our employees enjoy a safe working environment, the Toronto Grace has implemented best-in-class practices for workplace violence prevention.  A designed in-house certified trainer provides prevention intervention training for all staff. 

To further reinforce a culture of safety, we have launched an Annual Safety Ambassador Award.  This award is given to an individual, nominated by peers and selected by a committee, for their commitment to safety in the workplace.

Modified Work (Early and Safe Return to Work) Program

Toronto Grace’s program facilitates and supports employee recovery following an illness or injury. Research has proven that most employees heal faster and better when they are engaged in meaningful activities within their medical restrictions. Employee Health maintains a positive relationship with employees and managers in designing modified work programs that facilitate an early and safe return to work during the recovery period.
